> What public methods would DelegationToken have that AuthenticationToken
does not?
We could hypothetically add methods which inform the user on the
time-validity of the token, but I believe you already know that the answer is
that there are none presently.
> I will try to create an opaque DelegationToken type. It seems like that
gives us more API flexibility in the future, even if we don't have any extra
public methods now.
Thank you. I feel like that is a better long term fix that gives us
additional flexibility.
