Nothing of the sort, the documentation shows *current* syntax and briefly
documents any legacy syntax. Your tone is in the above is unnecessarily
hostile. Please don't go there...

Nothing in my response was intended as hostile, I apologize if it came
across this way.

However, the documentation in question specifically references Postfix 2.4,
and then uses an example using the old syntax. From
<http://www.postfix.org/LDAP_README.html#example_group>:

Our final use case is the same as the third, but this time uses new
features in Postfix 2.4. We now are able to use just one LDAP table and no
longer need to assume that forwarded groups are never nested inside
expanded groups.

fancy.cf:
...
search_base = dc=example, dc=com
query_filter = mail=%s
result_attribute = memberaddr
special_result_attribute = memberdn
terminal_result_attribute = maildrop
leaf_result_attribute = mail
$ postmap -q auser(a)example.com ldap:fancy.cf
auser(a)mailhub.example.com
$ postmap -q cuser(a)example.com ldap:fancy.cf
cuser(a)example.com
$ postmap -q agroup(a)example.com ldap:fancy.cf

auser(a)mailhub.example.com,buser(a)mailhub.example.com,auser(a)example.org,buser(a)example.org
$ postmap -q bgroup(a)example.com ldap:fancy.cf
bgroup(a)mlm.example.com



Note the above deprecated postmap -q syntax.

This is a minor documentation bug, the examples here are documenting the
fancy parameters, and were not carefully reviewed to ensure accuracy of
the postmap command-line interface. This never worked...

It is not deprecated, this never worked.
