If this is the whole graph, there is nothing which makes _:a and _:b 
different, as there is no interpretation in which the graph containing 
the first two triple has another truth-value than the graph with all 
three triples.

IFP/FP-Smushing is not what I'm looking for, event though - for 
performance reasons - an rdf-entailment smusher should probably be 
ifp/fp aware an treat functionally grounded nodes similarly to 
"naturally grounded"-nodes (i.e. literals and named resources).
