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

The only implementations I'm aware of are @kriskowal 's and my own.

Kris: https://github.com/kriskowal/gtor/blob/master/task.js

Mine: https://github.com/jhusain/task-lib 

It would be great to discuss the benefits and drawbacks of these two approaches. Currently I feel like either of these types would be a better option than trying to morph Promises into a type with fundamentally different guarantees.

I share your concern that trying to bolt cancellation on the promises may actually be  less expeditious than introducing a new primitive. This change would presumably need to be approved by both the WHATWG and the TC-39, and promise cancellation is clearly not without controversy. :) It may be more expedient to try and get a new, more appropriate type standardized and let Promises be Promises. Moreover I'm sure we'd end up with a better API.
