7/// Represents a single solution from a SPARQL SELECT query.
8///
9/// A query solution is analogous to a row in a SQL result set. It contains
10/// bindings for SPARQL variables, mapping each variable to an RDF term (or
11/// indicating the variable is unbound).
12///
13/// Each solution maintains:
14/// - An ordered list of variable names (the "columns")
15/// - A corresponding list of optional term values (a value of `None` indicates that the variable is unbound in this solution, which can occur with OPTIONAL patterns or UNION queries).
16///
17/// # Type Parameters
18///
19/// * `S` - The RDF graph type implementing [`Rdf`]
