Hi Eric, The oauth_single_token isn't really a feature -- it's just a demonstration of how you would go about it if that was your use case.
The usage of a stored access token is the same in most implementations, whether you got that single access token through the feature on dev.twitter.com or you got the access token by performing the OAuth token negotiation dance -- with most OAuth libraries, you still instantiate an access token object the same way -- you might be pulling the token from a database in context to a user using your application instead of having it hard coded. For those that do have a single-user use-case, usually people who've written an application mainly for their own research purposes, it's a quick and easy way to skip over the hardest part of implementing OAuth and instead skip right to the part where you're making resource requests. But the pattern is the same regardless of how you got the access tokens. Some libraries might obfuscate or simplify the process, but under the hood they are doing very similar operations.
