I think that, to serve its intended purpose, that "reification" will need
to be handled in the core. A message I have taken from the RDF-logic
discussion that it is really an abstract syntactic device to allow us to
express statement "nesting" (i.e. use without assertion).
See also my separate "abstract syntax" message.
