When working with an attribute or an objectclass it would be nice to be
able to easily determine the schema of the attribute or objectclass.

One I was working on lately was wanting to print the attributes of a
user. Since some of these are non-printable, it became necessary to
query the RootDSE, then the subSchemaEntry to determine the syntax of
the attributte.

Some helper methods that allow retrieveing the Schema when using an
instance of attribute or objectclass would save a lot of lines of code.

like LDAPAttributte.schema.syntax should be easy to implement.

Another one on Objectclasses. You want to add a new entry and would like
a list of "possible" attributes. LDAPEntry.schema.attributes as an
enumeration would be helpful.

Or am I missing something that already exist?
