Re: [fetch] Support full-duplex HTTP streaming (#229)

There are a couple of separable parts here:
1) Beginning to interpret a response before a request is complete
2) Interpreting/seeing *parts* of a response before the whole response has been received.

Browsers have supported no. 2 indirectly with various data formats (anything that can be interpreted before the whole entity has been received, e.g. progressive images, videos, etc.), but not for javascript.

The request here would be to make this functionality visible for use in the API if the browser supported it. 
It'd be best if the browser enabled the API entry point if both 1,2 were true, but enabling it for 2 is already a large potential win.
