Add a stream of statements to the model.

If any of the statements are illegal RDF statements they will be skipped and not added. See librdf_model_add_statement for the detail.

It must be a complete statement - all of subject, predicate, object parts must be present and a legal RDF triple. Use librdf_model_find_statements to search for partial statement matches.

WARNING: librdf_model_contains_statement may not work correctly with stores using contexts. In this case, a search using librdf_model_find_statements for a non-empty list will return the correct result.

### librdf_model_print ()
