Re: [whatwg/encoding] Add a static decode and encode method to `TextEncoder` and `TextDecoder` (#267)

It's unclear what the benefit of the proposed change is. It doesn't save significant typing (just `new`); in cases where you want to avoid allocating a new instance, the encoder/decoder can be cached and used statelessly.

Given a time machine to redesign the API now that streams are a thing, this makes more sense for non-streaming encodes/decodes, but is it worth adding to the platform?
