Are you willing to support this work?
Can support with reviews and feedback.
@chrisdavidmills are you handling this? If so let me know otherwise I'll add to our team tasks
@Rumyra I'm happy to do this; I'll add it to my worklist.
Proposal makes sense and looks pretty solid; ideally we should wait until it's actually in the spec before documenting. I'll keep an eye on https://github.com/whatwg/fs/pull/151 for progress on this.
@nathanmemmott I've added docs to cover these features: https://github.com/mdn/content/pull/35334. Would you be able to provide me with a tech review of this work, or is there someone more appropriate to ask?
Also pinging @tomayac as I know he is heavily involved with APIs around this area.
