Returns a tuple of native Elixir values from a `RDF.Triple` of RDF terms.
When a `:context` option is given with a `RDF.PropertyMap`, predicates will

Returns a triple where each element from a `RDF.Triple` is mapped with the given function.
Returns `nil` if one of the components of the given tuple is not convertible via `RDF.Term.value/1`.
The function `fun` will receive a tuple `{statement_position, rdf_term}` where
`statement_position` is one of the atoms `:subject`, `:predicate` or `:object`,
while `rdf_term` is the RDF term to be mapped. When the given function returns
`nil` this will be interpreted as an error and will become the overhaul result
of the `map/2` call.
