I don't see a split package in `org.apache.jena.atlas` - it has classes and
sub-packages in `jena-base` and separate sub-packages in `jena-arq` but I don't
see a package being split. That should not be a problem, should it?
Given this is retrofitting, we have to balance change with continuity for
existing users. Calling it `org.apache.jena.base` follows the general
automatic module style. "base" is code that is RDF-independent and is more for
internal Jena use.
