Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] AbortSignal.timeout() (Issue #711)

I accept that having the factory method on AbortSignal makes the simple case where an author only wants to timeout a fetch easy, e.g.:

     fetch(url, { signal: AbortSignal.timeout(8000) });
     
However, the scenario where the author needs their own AbortController and wants a timeout is more complex, e.g.:

    const controller = AbortController();
    fetch(url, { signal: AbortSignal.any(controller.signal, AbortSignal.timeout(8000)) });
    
vs having a timeout parameter on the AbortController constructor:

    const controller = AbortController({ timeout: 8000 });
    fetch(url, { signal: controller.signal });

Why not have both?
