Re: [whatwg/fetch] Aborting a fetch: The Next Generation (#447)

Sorry to keep picking at this, but I thought of another reason to make `FetchController.abort()` force things like `Response.text()` to reject even if the full body is buffered:

It would let the browser throw away the buffered data immediately.  Today we either have to wait for the `Response` to be GC'd or for script to call a consuming API like `Response.text()`.  Both of these have some amount of cost in either time kept alive or wrapping the data to expose to content.
