Objects of this class represent an LDAP DN ("Distinguished Name"). A DN ("Distinguished Name") is a unique identifier for an entry within an LDAP directory. It is made up of a number of other attributes strung together, to identify the entry in the tree.
Each attribute that makes up a DN needs to have its value escaped so that the DN is valid. This class helps take care of that.
A fully escaped DN needs to be unescaped when analysing its contents. This class also helps take care of that.
