- - Okay what the hell do I even want from an http function?

- - the js implementation has these features:
- -

- -  - method
- -  - ability to abort

- -  - get the result from it
- -      - this should be a fn (IO result), let's not expose the xhr object?

- -  Also want:
- -  - return the same data structure always, but that data structure should
- -  inform of any errors, and have the status code, response body,
- -  and status text.

- - Do we really need some sort of isomorphic framework? I think that's
