background token refresh #90

This sounds interesting! (Out of curiosity, who's "we"?) Would it be enough for your use case to spawn a task on any token requests that happen shortly before the expiration? That seems like the simplest approach to me. |

We is the very small stealth startup I'm at. Yes, I was thinking of something along those lines. I'll put together a PR for it. |

We're seeing that refreshing tokens from outside of a GCP env is slow, often around 1 second for us. Because of this we'd like to get the refresh done in background outside of the
get_tokencall. This is possible but awkward currently as there's no direct way for a consumer to trigger refresh other than to callget_tokenin the last 20 seconds of the token lifetime.Ideally the library would offer a background refresh option, or if not that, the ability to force a refresh.
I can put together a PR for either of these approaches if this is something you're interested in.
