Feature: indexing with complex paths

It would be nice to index using complex SPARQL paths, for instance

const ruben = path.create({ subject: namedNode('https://ruben.verborgh.org/profile/#me') });
showPerson(ruben);

async function showPerson(person) {
  for await (const name of person['foaf:friends*/foaf:givenName'])
    console.log(`- ${name}`);
}

Okay. I think it makes sense to continue with #80 then.

Hi @jeswr, good idea!

I will comment here on the syntactical suggestion, and in #80 on the implementation.

I think that, instead of

person['foaf:friends*/foaf:givenName']

we should consider

person['foaf:friends*'].['foaf:givenName']
person['foaf:friends*'].foaf$givenName
person['foaf:friends*'].name

which seems to fit the chaining spirit of LDflex better.

And perhaps also

person.friends['*'].name
person.friends.star.name
person.friends.recursive.name

or with better words than star/recursive that I can’t seem to find now 🙂
