[Feature request] Allow for browsing by return type

I was wondering what methods or properties return a ReadableStream. Examples are Body.body or Blob.stream(), but there is currently no way to obtain a complete list. This is a feature request to add such functionality to the docs. Possible solutions:

• @samthor suggested parsing TypeScript .d.ts files.
• @chrisdavidmills meant it would be easy to “write a script that crawls the repo and returns all instances of features with a certain return value”.
• Another idea might be to look at Web IDL.

Thanks for the transparency regarding the decision to not proceed. Appreciated you taking the time to consider this nevertheless.

I think we should not do this, at least not in this form. Reading this thread, I think Chris’s comment is still the thing:

Maybe it would be an idea to postpone thinking about this until we have got further with linting?

I think this sort of thing should emerge as a consequence of content modeling work. It’s possible to sprinkle structure on existing content, but that’s also sort of how you end up in a situation like mdn/data. If we’re going to start introducing new frontmatter fields, we need to start with page type and do the work to structure the content accordingly.
