Note that LDAP attribute descriptions may be invalid Python
attribute names. E.g.
{...
'title;lang-en': ['The Boss']
'title;lang-no': ['Sjefen']}
So you'd have to call getattr() explicitly to get at all the attributes
this way.

IMHO, this just complicates the client code since the client needs to
inserts checks of isinstance(return value, list) all over the place.
Better to have a separate method which extracts just the first value of
an attribute, if you want that.
