The N3 and Turtle serializers attempt to use namespace prefixes for subject
URIs. As a consequence, one can end up with dozens, or even hundreds, of
meaningless namespace prefixes.

Suggestion: remove auto-prefixing for subject URIs on these serializers;
only include it if there's an explicit binding.

Comment 1 by gromgull
This is a good point - we should have a flag deciding whether or not to try to
generate more prefix mappings.

Comment 2 by lindstr...@gmail.com
I propose to set this to FIXED in light of the revised Turtle & N3 serializers (r1708).

Comment 3 by gromgull
Fixed as per lindstreams comment.
