Oh, good.  No reason not to add matching rules then:-)

I search for one config attrs or another once in a while.  Mostly for
olcSuffix and with presence filters, but it'd be nice if e.g.
(olcAccess:caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch:=*userPassword*) worked.  Also some
day I'll want to use assertion controls as a check on modify operations
someday.

Still, I'm not proposing to add more work than necessary to this ITS.
Get it right first, then think of "nice to have"-features if/when anyone
bothers.
