We were not sure whether RDF containers should be allowed, or whether they are even useful. As it turns out, SHACL does not support these types for constraints such as `sh:in`, thus, we can remove them entirely. If lists/sequences, alternatives/enums, sets/bags are needed, they can be implemented by using the collection type `rdf:List`.
