Yes, the "compare without help from the backend" functionality has been
broken for years - which I presume means it's hard to fix, or needs a
different design.

Should we patch it over by adding Compare to back-ldif and whatever else
lacks it?  Or is this a "fix coming Real Soon Now" issue so it's good
to have this reminder from a backend which doesn't provide Compare?
