+     with its scheme for generating new ones, for example mapping "_:b123" to
+     "_:B123".  This flag disables that, so that blank node labels are passed
+     to the sink exactly as they are in the input.
+
+     Note that this flag should be used carefully, since it can result in data
+     corruption.  Specifically, if the input is a syntax like Turtle with
+     anonymous nodes, the generated IDs for those nodes may clash with IDs from
