I am not quite sure if I want to store an array of `gnutls_compression_method_t`. Currently, in `gnutls_compress_certificate_set_methods` function I have to parse the input anyway and then I am storing it in a format that is ready to be sent. That's why `_gnutls_compress_certificate_send_params` function does not have to do any conversions because it can just retrieve the private data and immediately send them. I don't think that storing the data as `gnutls_compression_method_t` would be any beneficial.
