Re: [w3c/FileAPI] Add method to read file into user given Uint8Array (#83)

This sounds very similar to what you would be able to do with a https://streams.spec.whatwg.org/#byob-reader-class right? I'm not necessarily against having similar functionality in FileReader as well, but I think eventually the streams API should be the one way to stream data from whatever source, so I'd be hesitant to add more functionality to FileReader. A somewhat sensible API to get a ReadableStream out of a Blob would seem like a much better solution to improving the ways you can read from blobs/files (note that you can already get a ReadableStream for a blob by wrapping the blob in a Response and calling its body method).
