Since posting this yesterday, I found that RDF::TrineShortcuts and RDF::Helper 
has more overlap in scope than I realised. So, we may want to consolidate or 
find out if the two can co-exist with a clearer picture of their scopes. 

Currently, RDF::TrineShortcuts isn't OOP, whereas RDF::Helper is. The latter 
also has RDF::::Helper::Object, which gives you accessor methods based on 
predicate names. The former is based entirely on RDF::Trine, the latter 
implements a bridge layer to RDF::Redland and RDF::Core, which is also done by 
RDF::Trine.

I think I would like to have a shortcutty high-level Moose-based module on the 
top of RDF::Trine, which neither of these are, but it seems like a waste to 
create a third such module. 

I may have some time for Moosey things tomorrow, so I could start doing 
something before the hackathon, if we could have some consensus around this.

Cheers,

Kjetil
