A simplified, swappable base class for throttling.
Does nothing save for simulating the throttling API and implementing
some common bits for the subclasses.

* ``throttle_at`` - the number of requests at which the user should
be throttled. Default is 150 requests.
* ``timeframe`` - the length of time (in seconds) in which the user
make up to the ``throttle_at`` requests. Default is 3600 seconds (
1 hour).
* ``expiration`` - the length of time to retain the times the user
has accessed the api in the cache. Default is 604800 (1 week).
