   - For O(state=present) and O(state=absent), all value comparisons are performed on the server for maximum accuracy. For O(state=exact), values
     have to be compared in Python, which obviously ignores LDAP matching rules. This should work out in most cases, but it is theoretically possible
     to see spurious changes when target and actual values are semantically identical but lexically distinct.
