Pierre-Arnaud Marcelot commented on DIRAPI-64:
----------------------------------------------
@Sébastien: Why not ? ;) It makes sense on both examples to me.
@Alex: I agree with you, Alex, in the sense that adding a starting and closing
parenthesis isn't something very complicated.
But, since we're releasing this API to facilitate the work with LDAP server, I
really think it makes sense that in a few parts we can make things a little
easier for the casual user, the one who does not follow strict RFCs (or has
been corrupted in his mind by other vendors who authorized this in their
servers...).
