  • Literal's datatype attribute is now no longer optional and will never
    be None.
  • Constructing a literal with only a language tag will set the datatype
    to rdf:langString.

Let q=Literal("ex", datatype=something). This will also overwrite any datatype given to a new Literal Literal(q, lang="en").

#prevous:
Literal(q, lang="en")
# >> Literal("ex", lang="en", datatype=something)

# now:
Literal(q, lang="en")
# >> Literal("ex", lang="en", datatype=RDF.langString)

Before the datatype was inherited. But i havent seen this behaviour documented, so there was no expected behaviour before. But we could mention this change in behaviour nonetheless.
Also this will handle issue #2603

_XSD_PFX = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#"
_RDF_PFX = "http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"

_RDF_LANGSTRING = URIRef(_RDF_PFX + "langString")

It might be more useful to make _RDF_LANGSTRING a class attribute for Literal. Then someone can change the default datatype for langstring by using a childclass instead of changing it programwide.
But im not sure

I'd like to see this merged after the release of v7.1.0, along with this related change #2866 as part of the "lots of breaking changes" release that RDFLib-8 will be.
