Description

We want to introduce fromCache member on Response objects. However, this in part depends on how we tackle #38 and also #39 of course. If a Response is partially formed from a cached entry, should it say "partial"?

Research direction

Start with the Fetch Standard's Response object definition and read issues #38 and #39, since this proposal depends on both. Determine the intended semantics for fromCache, including whether partially cached responses should be marked "partial"; done requires an agreed design and corresponding standard change.
