 Function that is used to make background asynchronous fetches.

+### `fetchContext`
+
+Arbitrary data that can be passed to the `fetchMethod` as the
+`context` option.
+
+Note that this will only be relevant when the `cache.fetch()`
+call needs to call `fetchMethod()`.  Thus, any data which will
+meaningfully vary the fetch response needs to be present in the
+key.  This is primarily intended for including `x-request-id`
+headers and the like for debugging purposes, which do not affect
+the `fetchMethod()` response.

 ### `noDeleteOnFetchRejection`
 
 If a `fetchMethod` throws an error or returns a rejected promise,
