Returning matched values only from a search operation

[Sean Mullan <sean.mullan@Sun.COM>]

The search operation defined by X.511 contains a BOOLEAN
matchedValuesOnly argument, which if true returns only the values
in a multi-valued attribute which match the specified filter
(as opposed to all the values).

This seems like a very useful feature, but does not appear to
be enabled by the LDAP search operation. Has there been an 
LDAP control to add this functionality?

For example, the matchedValuesOnly control could be combined with
an extensible certificate matching rule to only return the matching
certificates from an entry's multi-valued userCertificate attribute.
