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

@getify please **stop** saying "people" are confused about Promises ... nobody is!

Fetch API is specd as Promise, either we change this or we bring `.cancel` in: pick your poison

I'm all in favor of `.cancel` as `finally` 'cause it has a synchronous counterpart and makes Tasks let's say less needed. I also think that if I am asking you to promise me something, I should be able to tell you I regret I've asked that and you don't have to fulfill it ... but again, philosophy and synchronous counter part aside, we have a problem here, and we should solve it ASAP.
