Re: New substring matching rule (ITS#3041)

[Kurt@OpenLDAP.org]

Without a formal technical specification (e.g., an RFC), your
new rule addition is likely will not be accepted.

I suggest instead you look at ways to improve the approximate
matching rules and submit patches in that area.  Note that
the technical specification for these rules allows a great
deal of freedom on how to implement approximate matching,
that is, it's basically a local matter.
