Insert a class before LDAPClient to cache the return value
of get_entry() and certain exceptions (NotFound and
EmptyResult). The cache uses an OrderedDict for the cases
where a large cache might result an LRU model can be used.
The cache be enabled (default) or disabled using
ldap_cache=True/False.
This cache is per-request so is not expected to grow
particularly large except in the case of a large batch
command.
The key to the cache entry is the dn of the object
being requested.
Any write to or referencing a cached dn is evicted from
the cache.
The set of attributes is somewhat taken into consideration.
"*" does not always match everything being asked for by
a plugin so unless the requested set of attributes is a
direct subset of what is cached it will be re-fetched. Err
on the side of safety.
Despite this rather conserative approach to caching 29%
of queries are saved with ipatests/xmlrpc_tests/*
