@base performs strict checking for '#'

[satra]

i was getting this error:

...python2.7/site-packages/rdflib-4.1_dev-py2.7.egg/rdflib/plugins/parsers/notation3.pyc in join(here, there)
    109 
    110     assert(here.find("#") < 0), \
--> 111         "Base may not contain hash: '%s'" % here  # why must caller splitFrag?
    112 
    113     slashl = there.find('/')

AssertionError: Base may not contain hash: 'http://rohub.linkeddata.es/motifs_bundle_page-FGCS/index.html#'

according to the RDF 1.1 specs:

http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/REC-turtle-20140225/#grammar-production-base

@base and @Prefix share the same exact IRIREF pattern. is there a reason why this check exists?

[gromgull]

We do not strictly implement RDF1.1 - BUT that being said, I guess this is a legacy line from cwm and noone knows why it is there :)

Do all unit tests still pass if you remove it?

If you remove it (and add a unit test for parsing files with # in the base!) and make a PR, Travis will test it for you.

Ran into this issue as well and took a shot at what @gromgull suggested over at #407.
