I'm definitely in favor of this functionality, but I don't think it's in scope for this WG, and should probably be deferred to the next (maintenance) WG.
I agree with @rubensworks. I think it's a proposal for SEP https://github.com/w3c/sparql-dev

This comes up regularly. Many actually believe this syntax remains an official part of SPARQL, possibly because some engines (including Virtuoso) never dropped it, after implementing during SPARQL 1.1 development.
See (and perhaps transfer) https://github.com/w3c/sparql-dev/issues/101.
