:markdown
  Creates a request options object with default properties as described in the [Fetch
  Spec](https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#requestinit) to be optionally provided when instantiating a
  <a href='Request-class.html'><code>Request</code></a>. This class is used implicitly by <a href='Http-class.html'><code>Http</code></a> to merge in provided request
  options with the default options specified here. These same default options are injectable via
  the <a href='BaseRequestOptions-class.html'><code>BaseRequestOptions</code></a> class.
