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

I haven't been convinced by this thread that we need to solve the general problem of transitive promise cancellation. That adds a lot of reference for a feature that will be rarely used.

It's a poor analogy, but other multithreaded promise-like things don't have a generic cancellation. Read the c# documentation on the topic, for example.

What is wrong with adding a simpler hook, solely for fetch use?
