Re: [fetch] Access to the HTTP trailer (#34)

Trailers are used extensively inside of back-end networks and CDNs. Server-side folks generally are very keen to get them supported because they help deal with pain around buffering, etc. E.g., Varnish would LOVE to be able to send ETag in trailers.

The problem has *always* been browser support. The use cases might not be compelling to browsers, and browsers might have legitimate concerns about buffering, code complexity, etc., but saying that there aren't any compelling use cases because browsers haven't done it yet is pretty presumptuous.
