Dear me, It's spelled feTCH. It's caused you like an hour between today and yesterday mispelling FETCH as feCth. Why use it at all? I mean it's there now but next time, why not use GET or REQUEST or anything that you will spell correctly 100% of the time and prevent confusion when autocomplete gets it "wrong" because "derp, fetchFoobar is defined, derp dee derp what did I do"?

It's been a long week when the target of the rant is my own dumb habits.

I did get a new keyboard but only a ding dong blames his tools. Something like that

I definitely ask myself the same questions. "feTCH" indeed is an irregular identifier spelling in any language. Is there a specific reason why you would do this to yourself? o_0

@corscheid Sorry the caps were to illustrate that I keep mixing up the order of the letters T and C

Beyond that, it is because it is a sort of irregular thing... wanted to fallback to request if not able to just get it from cache / local storage. I could use request, but the other requestXYZ methods actually try to avoid this caching behavior.

So it's just that in this module caching is usually not desirable so it would have been confusing to me months later to see a requestXYZ that used any sort of cache.
