Again, please please follow standard conventions.
The lower-level functions should be called ldap-add, ldap-delete, etc. (Or even
better, use ldap-put, ldap-remove.) No -internal, -basic-, -1, whatever. These are
parallel to the database routines.
I'm still not completely convinced we need convenience wrappers. The db interface
doesn't have them, for example.
If you want them, though, call them something like create-ldap-entry, or similar
names -- i.e. longer, to convey that they do more than you might expect. Also, the
message displaying should be optional, and not the default.

Fine I guess I simply misjudged the meaning of "-internal" in function names.
I can rename the "-internal" functions to something else. What's your
suggestion to add the meaning "you're using stones to make fire, use the
lighter function instead otherwise if you're not really skilful you're going to
crush your fingers" to a function ? Would names like ldap-basic-add,
ldap-basic-search, ldap-basic-delete be good enough ?
