Well, auth-source should also work if one has simply `password
<password>` in the netrc file, and that password would be used for
every port, every user etc. However, the plstore backed for
auth-sources currently requires that the keys host, user, password,
and port ALL are present in the entry for it to successfully match.

I wanted some insight into this discrepancy. My goal with the
oauth2.el changes is to have minimum viable integration with
auth-sources such that the existing functions using it work. It's
narrower in scope than your plugin, and perhaps when I have a final
patchset ready we can discuss the merits of each.
