So basically a clever adaptation as to what I suggested in 
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T119775 to get statements referenced to the 
Wikipedias.  It works, but seems a very hacky approach around the core problem 
of not having a way to ask how many references a statement has.

So, just so I am clear on this, a statement to reference triple is always 
unique in the dataset?  I was under the assumption that a singular reference 
statement could potentially be duplicated with different hashes, which is why 
distinct would need to be enforced on the subject.    In theory, there should 
also be metadata on the reference that identifies it as "the latest" version, 
and previous revisions should not simply be replaced.  This is another issue, I 
guess.

Imho, there are clear problems with the reference implementation that should be 
addressed and not just worked around which is why I created 
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120166 to start.   Is the objective here 
just to produce some numbers or to improve the quality of the data?
