Well, it won't use the client API, but just the backend API.
I expect some improvement, and slightly less rewriting, copying
and parsing.
It's not only unstable, it's not finished (no time and low
priority, sorry).

I think you can do it with specially crafted rewrite rules.
Note that at present, there's no explicit provision to take
care of entry consistency if you rewrite (or remap) the RDN.
See http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-devel/200405/msg00059.html
for more details on this issue.
