   > Question: is this how you expect ideas for a new API to be presented?
   
   I don't have preference. This is a bit different as it is, mostly, moved from `jena-shacl`.  This library also "parked" in a not-API place for the moment so it can be morphed.
   
   `Graph` is a bit different because it is the base of all RDF access. I would have expected a new API to build on top of `Graph` in the same way that `Model` does.
   
   Actually changing `Graph` to add a whole bunch of operations and across different style of API does not seem like a good idea.
   
   Specifically for `G`, it really is adding words to more accurately describe what it going on so even where the operations are one liners, I think it clearer to give the pattern a descriptive name. Other operations wrap up a bit of checking so moving visiual clutter out of the caller app. YMMV.
