Yes I also find it useful. Not sure whether it should be within
ldap_initialize() or just in the client apps though.
The first could be problematic if client applications just read the LDAP
URI from some configuration file and pass it as is to ldap_initialize()
and after that call ldap_start_tls() a second time based on different
configuration parameters.
I don't see a big issue here: first of all, if the app is correctly
documented, one would only use this extension if needed. Moreover,
ldap_initialize can record that StartTLS was already requested because
of the extension, and avoid requesting it twice.
