Comunica Prune Empty Source Operations Optimize Query Operation Actor

An Optimize Query Operation actor that removes operations from the query plan that are guaranteed to produce empty results. This actor relies on source-based cardinality metadata, or may optionally make use of ASK queries if the source supports it.

This module is part of the Comunica framework, and should only be used by developers that want to build their own query engine.
