CoAP and new methods?

I see that the core working group has adopted this work:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-core-etch-00

This defines new methods for CoAP, which is (was?) very much *like* HTTP.

The new methods are:

FETCH, which looks like the proposed SEARCH in that it acts as a safe,
idempotent retrieval.  It is different in that responses that are
cacheable by default AND the request body forms part of the cache key.
(I think that I got that right.)

iPATCH, which is like PATCH, but idempotent.
