Re: [fetch] PATCH verb (#50)

Because every library that exists that adopts fetch or might adopt fetch in the future, already expects the normalization of HTTP verbs. When they make the switch to fetch, everything appears fine, until they realize that fetch is not normalized downstream. This is the only typical RESTful method that is NOT normalized and the inconsistency causes hard-to-track-down bugs in production applications when they update dependencies that suddenly start using fetch instead of some previous library that normalized all known HTTP verbs.

It's about consistency and common usage.
