Reuse HTML structuredClone for owning streams #1285

Open youennf opened 1 year ago

youennf commented 1 year ago

https://github.com/whatwg/streams/pull/1271 is somehow duplicating https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/structured-data.html#dom-structuredclone, except:

structuredClone takes an options parameter instead of a transfer list.
structuredClone is a visible function to JS

We should try to reuse more of HTML spec here

Ideally, HTML would export an abstract op StructuredClone(value, transferList) and add it to this list, so it can be used by Streams. Then the user-land structuredClone() function would simply forward to that abstract op.
