Also complete (but empty) if the result code is noSuchObject or referral and, 
with extensions, certain other codes used by extensions (such as 
assertionFailed [RFC4528]).

Noting that I'm looking at this from a single client-server operation 
perspective, treating search references themselves as part of the result set 
(as opposed to treating all the results from a set of related LDAP operations 
as forming the complete set).
