There were two suggestions that I'm okay with: either to have a user
option to control whether this information is kept (until the next
connection which needs a certificate confirmation, which will then
erase the information about the previous certificate), or adding a
separate command to reproduce these details in a buffer.  If someone
submits a patch along these lines, we could all be at least somewhat
happier.
