Description

In https://github.com/whatwg/fetch/issues/447#issuecomment-281731850 @jakearchibald sketched some APIs based on @stuartpb's work which @bakulf then implemented:

That issue got closed after we landed a subset of that API in Fetch (you can finally abort a fetch). Let's discuss the remainder here (though not priorities, that's #436).

Research direction

Determine which parts of the previously sketched single-fetch observer API remain outside the landed abort subset; this issue is done only when the remaining scope and specification changes are agreed.
