JSON-LD 1.1 Feature Request: Object-level @language

[jasnell]

See: digitalbazaar/jsonld.js#72

It would be helpful to have the ability to use @language within an object as a shorthand for "@context": {"@language": "..."} ... for instance... make:

{
  "@language": "en",
  "displayName": "foo"
}

equivalent to:

{
  "@context": {"@language": "en"}, 
  "displayName": "foo"
}

Having looked at the discussion in the referenced issue, I'm not sure this is the right way to address it. Using a property to represent the "object's language" instead of the @language keyword that is used to language-tag strings seems to be a more sensible solutions to me.

Would something like http://formatjs.io/ help out here?
