B<loc> actually determines the index where the new entry is inserted:
if it is -1 it is appended.
B<set> determines how the new type is added. If it is zero a
new RDN is created.
B<set> determines how the new type is added.
If it is zero a new RDN is created.
If B<set> is -1 or 1 it is added to the previous or next RDN
structure respectively. This will then be a multivalued RDN:
since multivalues RDNs are very seldom used B<set> is almost
always set to zero.
If B<set> is -1 or 1 it is added as a new set member
to the previous or next RDN structure, respectively.
This will then become part of a multi-valued RDN (containing a set of AVAs).
Since multi-valued RDNs are very rarely used B<set> typically will be zero.
