Parsing YodaTriples should be an exercise in patience. Expedient serializations - and perhaps ones that are easy to read - should be discouraged.

Maybe the module should put the above when required?

i think this should be reopened for now. @no-reply asked on #4:

So, require 'rdf/yoda_triples' should reopen RDF::Writer to add warnings?

that is my sense, yes. i also considered whether an exception is better, but my sense is that the choice is the up to the padawan, and not the Jedi master:

"It will be a hard life; one without reward, without remorse, without regret. A path will be placed before you. The choice is yours alone. Do what you think you cannot do. It will be a hard life, but you will find out who you are." ―Qui-Gon Jinn, to Anakin Skywalker
