Re: shapes-ISSUE-202 (Remove pre-binding from core): Suggestion to remove pre-binding from core [SHACL - Core]

As I said in the meeting, I believe it is premature to remove 
pre-binding from the core. Peter's argument is that we should not rely 
on it because it's a non-standard concept. However, we will hopefully 
have a proper definition of pre-binding soon - if not then we would need 
to remove it completely and rewrite also the extension mechanism, not 
just the core.

The specific mechanism suggested by Peter, to project the pre-bound 
variables to the outside with a SELECT is very counter-intuitive, 
inefficient, does not align with how the extension mechanism works, and 
does not generally work for all cases (as he noted himself), requiring 
an inconsistent secondary approach. He would also need to provide 
details of how all the other cases work: it's too late to do hand-waving 
on such a fundamental change. I see no need to do anything at this stage.

PROPOSAL: Close ISSUE-202 as explained in this email. If pre-binding 
(ISSUE-68) cannot be resolved, then we need to replace all queries 
anyway, and then we could revisit his suggestions.
