No, not really, afaik. I suppose it attempts to use "common sense" e.g.
if the syntax is for case sensitive string, it uses a matching rule for
case sensitive string comparison, and uses indexers for case sensitive
strings.
And how to determine whether a syntax is used for case sensitive
strings? That's exactly the problem of the original poster I guess.

Complete as in "implements every matching rule defined in every LDAP
RFC" - no.
Complete in the sense: The subschema subentry lists all the matching
rules which are implemented, no more, no less.
Ciao, Michael.
