Re: [whatwg/fetch] preload, destinations, and module scripts (#486)

Indeed. But it's kind of crucial for usefully preloading modules, which are expected to be deep graphs. If we don't add this to preload, then preload is largely useless for modules, and we'll need to invent a new way of preloading module graphs. Maybe that would be for the best though, because then we can avoid this whole "new destination" business?

How can this be true? Why do we have separate destinations for script, serviceworker, sharedworker, and worker if they can all be processed the same way?
