I'm not trying to awkward, but I don't see how that relates to my question. 

I understand how to use the matching rules syntactically, but
I have not found documentation anywhere that describes how these matching rules work.

I can try out examples and/or read the openldap source code to try and deduce their behaviour, but I'd
prefer to see documentation.
