Add 'exact' property to core concepts.

Use case
You need to change an IRI used in your profile for some reason (a technically important, offensive or embarrassing typo, some ip/copyright issue, moving domain, merging two or more profiles).
In that scenario you might release a version of your profile that includes the old concept(s) as deprecated alongside the new concept. In that case, the concepts would be 'exact' of one another.
exact would be an addition outside of SKOS for relationships between Concepts, which'd be a pretty big thing to do.
Also, I don't see how it improves UX for people trying to use profiles. If both concepts are present but one is deprecated, and there's a related between them, tooling will already be able to tell them they should look at the one without deprecation. And if they're some of the worse things on that list, a profile author should probably remove them without deprecating in advance, so anyone using an updated version of the profile wouldn't even see them as options (and the cross-version relationships would apply).
Pending a use case, closing this
