Latest version of CWM needs line return after last predicate, is much slower too

Hi,

As I was working on some rules for the Matrix maintenance, I noticed
that the latest version of CWM reacts differently from a previous
version, since it now requires a line return after the last predicate in
a file.

The attached file that only contains a trivial predicate triggers an
error when feed into cwm:

This error disappear when you add a line return after the predicate. I
don't if it's a bug or an intended change of behavior (my current
day-to-day version uses .
llyn.py version 1.47
cwm.py version 1.109
notation3.py version 1.120

On a completely unrelated point, the latest version of cwm is *much*
slower than the above (like 3 times slower), which shows pretty badly in
my usual applications such as tr and matrix automations.

Hope this helps,

Dom
