Re: [whatwg/dom] Encourage use of AbortError for cancellation? (#927)

Node.js doesn’t currently expose its DOMException and throws errors inside APIs that look like the DOM AbortError (same name and same code but without some of the quirks - quite painful since Node.is codes have a different format)

Of course in implemented DOM APIs Node will behave in a spec complaint way and throw a DOM AbortError.

However since Node vendors certain bits of its core as user land modules (readable-stream) and exposing DOMException was a show stopper there we ended up with that compromise.

I believe Jake Dor Robert Matteo and myself were on that call.

We are open to changing this behavior.

Note we currently do not expose our AbortError either.
