It would be good if QS2 could add and remove statements with value <somevalue>

Issue #89 new
Jheald created an issue

To deal with string-values for publishers, where these have not yet been matched to a Wikidata item, I have been adding these as

P123 = <some value>, with qualifier P1932 ("stated as") = publisher string from source.

eg at: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q51507396#P123

As a workaround to add <some value> with QS2, I have been setting P123 = Q53569537 ("placeholder for <somevalue>") using QuickStatements, which PLbot is then converting to an actual <somevalue>.

That seems to work well enough, but leaves me with the problem of how to remove the <somevalue> once I have successfully matched the publisher string to a Q value. I am not sure how I am going to do that, but it would be great if QS2 could be made able to handle <somevalue> directly.
