I just had a look. the size constraint is trivial to implement. number
is a bit more difficult.

If I understand correctly, constraint_violation() should perform an
internal LDAP search for the constrained attribute, count the existing,
and somehow keep a count of how many time constraint_violation()  is
called for a given attribute and a given operation.

I am not sure slapo-constraint is the right place.
