// Package tlsconfig provides primitives to retrieve secure-enough TLS configurations for both clients and servers.

// As a reminder from https://golang.org/pkg/crypto/tls/#Config:
//	A Config structure is used to configure a TLS client or server. After one has been passed to a TLS function it must not be modified.
//	A Config may be reused; the tls package will also not modify it.
