This use of `mbedtls_ssl_get_session()` + is discouraged, and the following should be considered: + * If the various session copies are later loaded into + fresh SSL contexts via `mbedtls_ssl_set_session()`, + export via `mbedtls_ssl_get_session()` only once and + load the same session into different contexts via + `mbedtls_ssl_set_session()`. Since `mbedtls_ssl_set_session()` + makes a copy of the session that's being loaded, this + is functionally equivalent. + * If the various session copies are later serialized + via `mbedtls_ssl_session_save()`, export and serialize + the session only once via `mbedtls_ssl_get_session()` and + `mbedtls_ssl_session_save()` and make copies of the raw + data instead. +- Calling `mbedtls_ssl_set_session()` multiple times in Mbed TLS 2.x + is not useful since subsequent calls overwrite the effect of previous + calls. Applications achieve equivalent functional behaviour by + issuing only the very last call to `mbedtls_ssl_set_session()`.
