### What problem are you trying to solve?
Calling `mutationObserver.disconnect()` while forgetting to handle any pending records is a common footgun.
### What solutions exist today?
Having to write boilerplate like:
```js
let records = mutationObserver.takeRecords();
if (records.length > 0) {
callback(records);
}
mutationObserver.disconnect();
```
Every time you want to stop observing is quite repetitive, and it cannot be done with just a reference to the mutation observer, since it requires a reference to its callback too.
### How would you solve it?
Add a dictionary argument to `disconnect()` with a `flush` option (name TBB) that does exactly this.
### Anything else?
