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

Is it absolutely unacceptable to change the return type of `fetch(..)`? I don't mean the "adding methods to the promise" stuff, I mean literally changing `fetch(..)` to return something that's not a promise. Yes, I know this will break code. I'm just asking if it's possible to consider that?

I don't suspect this will considered at this late point, but I figured I'd just ask.

------

I had suggested in that other "fetch cancelation" thread that `fetch()` return the fetch-controller, and that this fetch-controller object have a property on it for the promise that's currently the return of `fetch(..)`, as well as the `abort()` method:

```js
let { abort, pr } = fetch(..);
```

The ergonomics of using `fetch()` only for the promise just requires an extra `.pr` in there, like:

```js
await fetch(..).pr
```
