You are asking the user to visit a URL (with `browse-url') with an
external web browser that can run Javascript, then maybe they get back
an auth code, and then they paste it back to Emacs. The way you have
written oauth2.el, anyone that has customized `browse-url' to use w3m or
other non-Javascript browsers will not know that something went wrong.
Maybe oauth2.el should check for that case.
