Re: [fetch] Deprecate fetch (#28)

Can you show (with code) how streams are cumbersome with fetch, in comarrison to an XHR-based API?

With fetch:

```js
fetch(url).then(response => {
  var reader = response.body.getReader();
  var decoder = new TextDecoder();
  function drain(valueSoFar) {
    return reader.read().then(function(result) {
      valueSoFar += decoder.decode(result.value || new Uint8Array, { stream: !result.done });
      if (result.done) return valueSoFar;
      return drain(valueSoFar);
    });
  }
  return drain();
}).then(function(fullText) {
  console.log(fullText);
});
```

With async/await:

```js
fetch(url).then(async response => {
  var reader = response.body.getReader();
  var decoder = new TextDecoder();
  var fullText = '';
  var result;

  do {
    result = await reader.read();
    fullText += decoder.decode(result.value || new Uint8Array, { stream: !result.done });
  } while (!result.done);
  
  console.log(fullText);
});
```
