The issue is actually allowing existing controls to be used with newly registered exops, since the only way to declare the compatibility would be by re-registering the control. Problem there is that built-in controls have everything static to controls.c, so it's not even possible to do that.

A solution would be to add another piece of API that receives a pair of (control OID, exop OID), finds the control and adds the OID to the sc_extendedops(bv) lists.

Going to do just that (register_control_exop() a decent name?).

This implementation is in the ITS8845 branch of my GitHub repo: https://github.com/mistotebe/openldap/tree/ITS8845
