Re: [heycam/webidl] Is the longer form of stringifier operations a thing? (#816)

I tried GitHub's blame UI but got stuck rather quickly when everything got converted to Bikeshed. GitHub Unicorns and "file too big" before that.

I think there are potential uses for `stringifier TYPE ();`, in particular if the specification wants to return a byte sequence and have that turned into a string (i.e., `ByteString`, although that's not how that's defined right now) or give some kind of assertion that the return value is UTF-8-safe which can be helpful for tooling (i.e., `USVString`).

The `customIdentifier` bit seems somewhat bogus as new APIs should follow the pattern that results in a `toString()` on the object and therefore never use that.
