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

@jakearchibald, isn't it sufficient to cancel just the request? That is to say, once the fetch promise resolves, the abort would have no effect. The abort would simply cause the promise to reject with a new error type.

In that case, consumers of the response stream aren't affected, because there is no response at the time that any abort is enacted.

An abort on the response stream is sufficient to cancel the response once it starts.
