The "token_type" parameter in introspection responses - is that supposed
to be "access_token" / "refresh_token", or the type of the access token,
e.g. "Bearer"?

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7662#section-2.2

Section 5.1 in RFC 6749 that is referred to points to section 7.1 which
seems to imply the latter?

Thanks,

Vladimir
