Proposal : response.html()

[fflorent]

window.fetch is a great progress to make asynchronous requests, thanks for that!
I am not sure whether that's the right place for doing so, I also propose that we can parse the response as HTML content.

Something like response.html([context]) where context is the parent node of where the nodes would be inserted. It would return Promise<DocumentFragment>.

A polyfill of them would be:

response.html = function(context) {
  return this.text().then((text) => {
    var range = document.createRange();
    range.selectNodeContents(context);
    return range.createContextualRange(text);
  };
};

Use case: having directly parsed elements to possibly manipulate their content before inserting.

What do you think?

Same as #16, and this one is addressed directly in the document.
