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

If some here are dubious whether `fetch(..)` needs cancelation, and that cancelation should just require you to fall back to `XHR`, turn the question around and answer this:

Imagine there was not already an `XHR`, and all we had was a `fetch(..)` as currently proposed without any cancelation. If someone came along and said "I want cancelation for the following cases ...", would we really design something like `XHR` just to do cancelation? I sure hope not.
