@Blaine: I think it was planned this way, the access is controlled per
application, not application instance.
@Monis: imagine an application "AAP1" that requests a request token "RT1",
that is exchanged for an access token "AT1". You can't exchange the request
token "RT1" for another access token, is only usable one time.
But the same application "APP1" can request another request token "RT2" an
when you exchange it, and the provider may give you the same token "AT1" or
another token "AT2".
