N3 contexts and N-triples

this is just a late night idea...
Suppose we have the following n-triple
  <s> <p> <o> .
and look to the dot as "the triple is at the current place".
Now we could generalize that dot to something like @place
so that the N3 formula
  {{<s1> <p1> <o1> . <s2> <p2> <o2>} <p3> {<s4> <p4> <o4>}} <p5> <o5> .
could be represented as
  _:a1 <p5> <o5> .
  _:a2 <p3> _:a3 @a1
  <s1> <p1> <o1> @a2
  <s2> <p2> <o2> @a2
  <s4> <p4> <o4> @a3
