Without going in the specifics of the code, "dn" for Distinguished Names is pretty standard. What does base-dn mean?

Base/root entry of the search query. It was pointed out https://colabti.org/irclogger/irclogger_log/perl6?date=2019-09-05#l482
Personally I don't have a strong opinion on this, but wonder if that'd be more confusing than I thought before.

I think that for most people expect the naming as worded by byOpenLDAP's ldapsearch/modify/add. They just use base (-b).
