Shorthand syntax for creating entites #39

Description

@tpluscode

It would be very handy to use anonymous objects to create entities, especially ones with a blank id. Currently a blank node id must be explicitely created

var entity = context.Load<IPerson>("some URI");
var blankId = entity.CreateBlankId();
var address = context.Create<IAddress>(blankId);
address.City = "New York";
entity.Address = address;

Here's how this could work instead

var entity = context.Load<IPerson>("some URI");
entity.Address = new {
   City = "New York"
};

Internally a new blank identitifier would be generated for the anonymous object and each property would be translated to the destination type. In this case the properties would have to match those of IAddress.
