Re: [whatwg/streams] Proposal: ReadableStreamBodyReader (Issue #1238)

> As one may imagine implementing `new Response(stream, { headers }).formData()` using this reader

You mean as an engine, or as a user? Because `new Response(stream).json()` etc is already possible.

I think the crux of this proposal is if it makes sense to add another stream reader type, considering one can already do the proposed behaviour with `new Response(stream).json()` etc.

Succinctness alone is not a compelling argument in my opinion, because the new reader mode is more verbose than using `new Response`:

```
> "readable.getReader({ mode: 'body' })".length
36
> "new Response(readable)".length
22
```
