Great. That text did mean anything without the knowledge that
control:LDAP-Group is not a "real" attribute, unless you turn on those
cacheable_xxxx attributes.
Instead, it is a magical pseudo attribute which triggers
behind-the-scenes queries when you match on it.
Now grepping for paircompare_register in the code, it looks like there
are some other attributes which might have similar magical powers.
