Re: [whatwg/fetch] Add a `timeout` option, to prevent hanging (#951)

@annevk sorry! I read a *lot* of the different offshoot issues from #20, but somehow missed #179, or I absolutely would have just commented there instead. Thanks.

Fair enough. I did do a lot of editing actually. Based on #20 (not having seen #179) I was of the impression that the general opinion was "userland only, timeouts are solved". And when you're arguing to revisit a contentious topic, if you aren't thorough people will close it saying "we've already covered this". It's a bit of a catch-22.

From #179 it seems like you were after more information, so maybe some of the initial writeup can be helpful. Looking forward to `timeout` support!
