Fetch API (100 Days of Google Dev)

`fetch` is great and `Promises` are also great but there's just one problem. You can't cancel Promises per Promise spec like you can with Observables

Will play with fetch() but will likely stick with jQuery for most uses.

Of course, valid or not, it cries out fit the Mean Girls reference.
