This module hides the difficulties of OAuth 1. The downside to this
module is it isn't actually an LWP::Authen module, but a wrapper for
LWP::UserAgent - my fault for not RTFM.
OAuth 2 is a completely new protocol. From my understanding, it's the
difference between signing a message (OAuth 1) and passing temporary
authentication credentials (OAuth 2).
This module will never support OAuth 2. If I ever have a need to use
OAuth 2 e.g. if Google drop support for OAuth 1, I'll look into building
a separate OAuth 2 authenticator.
