ISSUE-353: Introduce a syntactic marker for when optional id is expressed

optional-id-syntactic-marker

Introduce a syntactic marker for when optional id is expressed

State:
CLOSED
Product:
prov-n
Raised by:
James Cheney
Opened on:
2012-04-19
Description:
Implement rule for optional first argument

- id is at the beginning and followed by a different symbol (say, semicolon) if present, to make it trivial to see whether there's an id present;


Another possibility could be to prefix the id argument with a special character such as @ in order to make its special role as the optional first-argument identifier clear:

wasGeneratedBy(@id,e,a,-)
wasGeneratedBy(e,a,-)

instead of
wasGeneratedBy(id, e,a,-)
wasGeneratedBy(e,a,-)
