Clearing up a question from IRC:
```js
var fetchPromise = fetch(url).then(response => {
// noooope:
fetchPromise.abort();
var jsonPromise = response.json().then(data => console.log(data));
});
```
In the above, `fetchPromise.abort()` does nothing as the promise has already settled. The correct way to write this would be:
```js
var jsonPromise = fetch(url).then(r => r.json());
```
Now `jsonPromise.abort()` would cancel either the request, or the response, whichever is in progress.
