881354 - Experimental features added to .request() have not been added to .get()

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: Identity, defect)

Description

[Jed Parsons (use needinfo, please) [:jedp, :jparsons]]

As Shane reports[1], he experimental features added for FirefoxOS were only added to .request and have not been added to .get.

    experimental_forceAuthentication
    experimental_forceIssuer
    experimental_allowUnverified

The solution should be forward-compatible to allow for changes and additions to those parameter names.  Currently, get()'s options are not extensible like .request()'s.

Marking this as dependent on bug 881026, since we'll be modifying the same function.

This will be testable with the addition to the UI Tests in bug 881435

These experimental features are being implemented in Firefox Accounts one way or another, and we will be removing Persona support for them at some time in the future.  There should be no RPs using get() who are also accessing the experimental account-like features, so I would regard this a wontfix.
