RE: When to not deref aliases

["Ramsay, Ron" <Ron.Ramsay@ca.com>]

Surely, we wouldn't dereference an alias for ModifyDNRequest but we would
for the other two. Probably, CompareRequest should have a deref boolean in
the definition.

Some operations in RFC 2251 explicitly say to not dereference aliases while
resolving the name (ModifyRequest, AddRequest, DelRequest) while others
don't (BindRequest, ModifyDNRequest, CompareRequest). Should we add similar
language to the latter three?
