Thanks.  OpenLDAP supports that control, but

1) it's not the exact semantics I'm looking for, and

2) I don't want to use controls in internal operations, because they may
conflict with the semantics of the original operation (the control could
be already present, or adding the control would affect other parts of the
operation).
