 In several cases the Distinguished Name (DN) of an object is constructed using properties of the object.
 E.g. in the above example, the country, company and full name of the `Person` are used in the DN, which means that updating any of these properties will actually require moving the entry in the LDAP tree using the `rename()` operation in addition to updating the `Attribute` values.
 Since this is highly implementation specific this is something you'll need to keep track of yourself - either by disallowing the user to change these properties or performing the `rename()` operation in your `update()` method if needed.
