Will the fetch client be updated to support the abort method that is documented here. While it can still change it’s an important feature that should be handled at the plugin and if the implementation changes it should be transparent to the application creator

> The abort() method of the AbortController interface aborts a DOM request (e.g. a Fetch request) before it has completed. This is able to abort fetch requests, consumption of any response Body, and streams.
