While I'm not opposed to having some turnkey solution built in, I do think
that the current default of sending tickets immediately after the handshake
is the correct *default* behavior.  That makes the new session (with ticket
and resumption capability) available to clients right after the handshake,
instead of needing to wait until some actual data from the server arrives.

I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts about what an API/config would look
like to enable the delayed-send behavior.
