Comment (by schlessera):

 If you want to provide a class for CURIEs, you should definitely stick to
 how the CURIE is officially defined. Otherwise, please don't call it a
 CURIE, as that comes with a certain set of expectations:

 From https://www.w3.org/TR/curie/ :

 ''The following definition makes the set of CURIEs a syntactic superset of
 the set of QNames. It is comprised of two components, a prefix and a
 reference. The prefix is separated from the reference by a colon (:). It
 is possible to omit both the prefix and the colon, or to omit just the
 prefix and leave the colon. To disambiguate a CURIE when it appears in a
 context where a normal [URI] may also be used, the entire CURIE is
 permitted to be enclosed in brackets ([, ]).
 ''

 This means that you would need to change the code with the following in
 mind:

 * The components are called `prefix` and `reference`
 * It should still work when you omit the `prefix` and leave the colon
 * It should be possible to enclose it in brackets (this is called a
 `SafeCURIE`).

 The currently proposed code snippets fail on some or all of this points.
