Andy Seaborne commented on JENA-778:
------------------------------------
There would still be {{getSubject}}.
{{TripleMatch}} currently provides {{getMatchSubject}} which is "getSubject or
null if Node.ANY" so {{getSubjectOrNull}} is a clearer version of that (see
java8 Optional naming style). I just suggested {{getSubjectOrAny}} for
clarity/symmetry; I'm not strongly arguing for it.
We could just have {{getSubject}} and remove {{getSubjectOrX}}-like things all
together.
{{Quad}}s can have nulls in the graph slot. Node.ANY is a wildcard and really
only has meaning when used for finding; as a data value it is wrong, but that
does not matter in Triples. It does matter in quads -- the graph slot can be
"not applicable" which may be a triple without saying or knowing which graph it
is associated with.
