Would it be really bad to have these names four characters longer to
indicate they are about the body of the response? Then we'd have:

consumeBodyAsJSON()
consumeBodyAsText()

and

canConsumeBody

as indication whether or body is still available for consumption. All
other members of the Request object explicitly name what they are
about, seems a bit of a miss to not do that there.
