Description
Moved from: https://github.com/restify/node-restify/issues/742
The HTTP spec allows for DELETE request bodies, and the restify server works with DELETE request bodies, but the restify clients' del method doesn't allow a payload as an argument.

Research direction
Inspect the restify clients' del method and its argument handling, then compare it with the server's support for DELETE request bodies. Done means del accepts and sends a payload for DELETE requests, with the client behavior covered by an appropriate test.
