Property 'body' does not exist on type 'Request'

[devrelm]

According to the fetch standard, the Request type should have a body on it, by virtue of it implementing the Body mixin.

Technically, the actual issue here is that the body property on the Response interface should be moved to the Body interface.

TypeScript Version: 2.2.2

Using the es6 lib (though all of the libs with fetch type definitions have this issue.)

Code

// A *self-contained* demonstration of the problem follows...
function getBodyFromRequest(request: Request): ReadableStream | null {
    return request.body;
}

Expected behavior:

Compiles with no errors.

Actual behavior:

Fails with error Property 'body' does not exist on type 'Request'

@devrelm why did you close this issue? I just ran into the same thing.

[devrelm]

I had mentioned this issue in a private repo for my employer. It looks like Github closed this issue when that private-repo's issue was closed. I've had it happen once before, and I'm getting a bit upset that GitHub is being a bit too helpful.
