"""

This example shows how a custom evaluation function can be added to
handle certain SPARQL Algebra elements

A custom function is added that adds ``rdfs:subClassOf`` "inference" when
asking for ``rdf:type`` triples.

Here the custom eval function is added manually, normally you would use
setuptools and entry_points to do it:
i.e. in your setup.py::

    entry_points = {
        'rdf.plugins.sparqleval': [
            'myfunc =     mypackage:MyFunction',
            ],
    }
