RE: OID can not be string any more? From which version?

["Howard Chu" <hyc@highlandsun.com>]

You can use lines like
	objectidentifier mybase 1.2.3.4
	objectidentifier myattrs mybase:0
	objectidentifier myobjs mybase:1
	objectidentifier syntaxes 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1
	objectidentifier OIDsyntax syntaxes:38

to create macros to represent OIDs and then in your schema definitions use
them like so:
	attributetype ( myattrs:1 NAME 'myFirstAttribute'
		DESC 'Something interesting'
		EQUALITY objectIdentifierMatch
		SYNTAX OIDsyntax )

This would be expanded internally into
	attributetype ( 1.2.3.4.0.1 NAME 'myFirstAttribute'
		DESC 'Something interesting'
		EQUALITY objectIdentifierMatch
		SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.38 )
