crypto/tls: cache peerCerts across client connections

[moredure]

(client) Is it possible to cache provided certificates certs := make([]*x509.Certificate, len(certificates)) across different connections to the same server ?

// verifyServerCertificate parses and verifies the provided chain, setting
// c.verifiedChains and c.peerCertificates or sending the appropriate alert.
func (c *Conn) verifyServerCertificate(certificates [][]byte) error {
	certs := make([]*x509.Certificate, len(certificates))
	for i, asn1Data := range certificates {
		cert, err := x509.ParseCertificate(asn1Data)
		if err != nil {
			c.sendAlert(alertBadCertificate)
			return errors.New("tls: failed to parse certificate from server: " + err.Error())
		}
		certs[i] = cert
	}

Looks like I am not the first with this thing
I just emptied connection PeerCertificates and VerifiedChains with nils after connection and it's good to go -20% in-use memory!
