Re: [fetch] Access to the HTTP trailer (#34)

@igrigorik I do want to make sure you're not ignoring @davidben & I's concerns about the fundamental complexity this would bring to a browser implementation to even support. While I think it's fine to discuss "What might the API for fetch() look like to expose this", it still fundamentally requires that the UA be able to understand and expose this, and thus the networking stack support it, and I think the complexity/use case tradeoffs are far, far from being met. But I suppose that's a broader question of whether UAs should be expected to support trailers, _period_, rather than the exact shape of the API.

Just making sure we're not in a situation where we're haggling over the colour of the bikeshed, when we haven't even agreed upon the need for a bikeshed.
