Providing a `safe` mode

[ClearlyClaire]

Some JSON-LD processors provide a “Safe Mode” to error out instead of silently dropping data when performing certain operations, e.g. https://github.com/digitalbazaar/jsonld.js#safe-mode

This is not part of the standard but discussed in w3c/json-ld-api#629

It would be very helpful to have such behavior in the json-ld gem to catch errors earlier and avoid certain footguns.

@ClearlyClaire I'm not sure if you're aware, but the primary maintainer of this repo passed away in September. https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/semantic-web/2025Sep/0004.html. Although @artob and @no-reply have push access for the rubygems repo, I'm not sure they are interested in maintaining this.

I'd be happy to review a pull request for this, and to promote nontrivial contributors to co-maintainers.

I was not aware. I'm sorry to learn that.

I will have a look at what implementing this entails, but I can't promise I'll manage to do it.
