I'd like to come back to this from a slightly different point.

I have an attribute maildrop which values are like user@server.

Now an application may need the "user" value solely without the "server".

Can I provide the value of "user" (from the attribute maildrop) in a 
virtual attribute foo with slapo-rwm?

(I must confess I do not fully understand what the slapo-rwm man page 
wants to tell me.)
