-----------------------------------------------------------

Is it absolutely necessary for a {{DatasetGraph}} to support union graph? I'm no expert on the standards, but the way I understand the dataset concept, there is no restriction that the number of named graphs be finite. In more practical terms, I could imagine impl'ing {{DatasetGraph}} over some kind of persistence where it would be horribly expensive or even truly impossible to iterate over all the graphs.

> (This follows on from JENA-1064)
> {{DatasetGraphBaseFind}} now has a {{find}} operations for the union graph added to make implementation easier.
> Should operation(s) be exposed in the core interface {{DatasetGraph}} (the application contract)? If so, how?
> The operations to consider include:
> * {{findInUnionGraph}} ({{Iterator<Triple>}})
> * {{findQuadsInUnionGraph}} ({{Iterator<Quad>}})
> * {{findInDftGraph}} ({{Iterator<Quad>}} - inconsistent naming with above)
> At the moment {{findInDftGraph}} returns quads and documents {{DatasetGraph.getDefaultGraph().find()}} as being the way to get triples. This suggests a different style where {{DatasetGraph}} has:
> * {{DatasetGraph.getUnionGraph()}}
> * {{DatasetGraphFind.findInUnionGraph}} ({{Iterator<Quad>}})
