Execute the given `query` against the given `graph`.
The `query` can be given directly as `RDF.Query.BGP` struct created with one
of the builder functions in this module or as basic graph pattern expression
accepted by `bgp/1`.
The result is a list of maps with the solutions for the variables in the graph
pattern query and will be returned in a `:ok` tuple. In case of an error a
`:error` tuple is returned.
## Example
Let's assume we have an `example_graph` with these triples:
```turtle

foaf:mbox .

Creates a `RDF.Query.BGP` struct.
A basic graph pattern consist of single or list of triple patterns.
A triple pattern is a tuple which consists of RDF terms or variables for
the subject, predicate and object of a RDF triple.
As RDF terms `RDF.IRI`s, `RDF.BlankNode`s, `RDF.Literal`s or all Elixir
values which can be coerced to any of those are allowed, i.e.
`RDF.Vocabulary.Namespace` atoms or Elixir values which can be coerced to RDF
literals with `RDF.Literal.coerce/1` (only on object position). On predicate
position the `:a` atom can be used for the `rdf:type` property.
Variables are written as atoms ending with a question mark. Blank nodes which
in a graph query patterns act like a variable which doesn't show up in the
results can be written as atoms starting with an underscore.
Here's a basic graph pattern example:
```elixir
[
{:s?, :a, EX.Foo},
{:s?, :a, EX.Bar},
{:s?, RDFS.label, "foo"},
{:s?, :p?, :o?}
]
```
Multiple triple patterns sharing the same subject and/or predicate can be grouped:
- Multiple objects to the same subject-predicate pair can be written by just
writing them one by one in the same triple pattern.
- Multiple predicate-objects pair on the same subject can be written by
grouping them with square brackets.
With these, the previous example can be shortened to:
```elixir
{
:s?,
[:a, EX.Foo, EX.Bar],
[RDFS.label, "foo"],
[:p?, :o?]
}
```

defdelegate bgp(query), to: Builder, as: :bgp!
@doc """
Creates a `RDF.Query.BGP` struct for a path through a graph.
The elements of the path can consist of the same RDF terms and variable
expressions allowed in `bgp/1` expressions.
## Example
The `RDF.Query.BGP` struct build with this:
RDF.Query.path [EX.S, EX.p, RDFS.label, :name?]
is the same as the one build by this `bgp/1` call:
RDF.Query.bgp [
{EX.S, EX.p, :_o},
{:_o, RDFS.label, :name?},
