Sometimes one wants to add a custom schema which also defines LDAP syntaxes which are not supported yet but could be substituted by another LDAP syntax already implemented.
Instead of changing SYNTAX of all attribute type declarations in the custom schema it might be handy if declaring a substitute LDAP syntax would be possible while still providing the original syntax declaration to the client which might know better what to do with it.
Example for emulating custom LDAP syntax with PrintableString: ldapsyntax ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.5427.666.42.42.42 X-SUBST 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.44 )
This should fail with parsing error if one trys to add a substitute syntax for a syntax already implemented.
