I'd be happy to write documentation for this feature; to clarify, are you
referring to the documentation in the "docs" folder of the source?

Again, I have no issue doing the work, but I am unclear as to how you want
these test-cases implemented; something in the tests folder?

Also regarding the tests, it is unlikely a successful test of the token
functions could be created that would not require the user running the test
to provide a recent OAUTH Bearer Token. Tokens generally expire in a
short window of time (typically 1 hour), and are unique to the user account
used in the connection. Maybe you or someone else has some ideas for
a good way to design these tests (or perhaps I misunderstand your
meaning altogether...)
