Re: [fetch] Aborting a fetch (#27)

> how is that since nobody cancels Promises these days?

In my example, the "library" code is written assuming the promise will always resolve. If we add cancellation to existing promises it breaks that assumption, and the library will have to update. I don't know if that's a good move.

It will be improved through a cancelable Promise (or something similar). You can't use fetch without already guarding against failure, so cancellation can be added here.
