/**
  * This interface represents a collection of attributes.
  *<p>
  * In a directory, named objects can have associated with them
  * attributes.  The Attributes interface represents a collection of attributes.
  * For example, you can request from the directory the attributes
  * associated with an object.  Those attributes are returned in
  * an object that implements the Attributes interface.
  *<p>
  * Attributes in an object that implements the  Attributes interface are
  * unordered. The object can have zero or more attributes.
  * Attributes is either case-sensitive or case-insensitive (case-ignore).
  * This property is determined at the time the Attributes object is
  * created. (see BasicAttributes constructor for example).
  * In a case-insensitive Attributes, the case of its attribute identifiers
  * is ignored when searching for an attribute, or adding attributes.
  * In a case-sensitive Attributes, the case is significant.
  *<p>
  * Note that updates to Attributes (such as adding or removing an attribute)
  * do not affect the corresponding representation in the directory.
  * Updates to the directory can only be effected
  * using operations in the DirContext interface.
