Maybe lines with ; could be truncated before passing it to the schema 
parser? I don't know if that has any impact on processing slapd.conf in 
general. The slapd.conf parser has to already know in advance that this 
part is a schema declaration (started by key-word objectclass etc.) and 
could change pre-processing?
