Re: [whatwg/fetch] Add option to reject the fetch promise automatically after a certain time elapsed (with no API for arbitrary aborts) (#179)

I'm still interested in an answer to the question I raised above as `AbortSignal.timeout` is being proposed (again): https://github.com/whatwg/dom/issues/951.

One high-level question I have for @kornelski is that although it was said this would be equivalent to XMLHttpRequest, the way OP reads to me is that we'd wait up to X seconds for the first chunk and after that the timeout no longer applies, whereas XMLHttpRequest timeout (and aborting) continues affecting subsequent chunks.
