  Returns a tuple of native Elixir values from a `RDF.Triple` of RDF terms.

  Returns a triple where each element from a `RDF.Triple` is mapped with the given function.

  The function `fun` will receive a tuple `{statement_position, rdf_term}` where
  `statement_position` is one of the atoms `:subject`, `:predicate` or `:object`,
