This is working, the only issue is that the definition parsing is not strict, meaning it will accept definitions with an array value where only one value is expected, or where some mandatory field is missing. One of the reason for this is that determining what is mandatory and what can or cannot be multivaluated would require a lot of RFC reading and testing.

This issue means that calling code cannot make any assertion about the structure of the result array, it could have no OID field or an array of values in OID field for instance. This makes strong typing analysis by phpstan harder.

On the plus side this non-strict parsing allows parsing objectClass and attribute definitions with the same function, and even other LDAP types may be parsed the same (equality rules and such).
