@daisuke-e and @yoichio have raised that Fetch request streams might be more natural to call Fetch upload streaming.

The Chromium bug and Chromestatus entry called it upload streaming:
https://chromestatus.com/feature/5274139738767360
https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40505032

On the other hand, https://developer.chrome.com/docs/capabilities/web-apis/fetch-streaming-requests called it "Streaming requests with the fetch API" which is closer to the current name.

@captainbrosset @ddbeck discussed naming a bit in #2517, but AFAICT not this option.

What name is most familiar to web developers?

This came up on the WebDX call. My take was that renaming the name field is fine and good. I wasn't very familiar with the feature when I originally helped name it. I do have a small preference toward not using a gerund (as in "Fetch upload streams"), but I don't feel very strongly about it. I opened #2898 anyway.

If we wish to change the ID to match (fetch-request-streamsfetch-upload-streams), then we'd have to wait for #91 to resolve this.
