  General serialization-independent functions for reading a `RDF.Graph` or `RDF.Dataset` from a file or encoded-string.

  You probably won't use these functions directly, but instead use the automatically
  generated functions with same name on a `RDF.Serialization`, which implicitly
  use the proper `RDF.Serialization.Decoder` module.
