Standardize global `setTimeout`/etc.?

[Andrea Giammarchi]

These are standard already:
https://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-html5-20110525/timers.html#timers

It's rather a matter of "what in the W3C global scope should be available
on ECMAScript specifications too" ?

'cause timers are not the only thing that comes handy. Native
URLSearchParams and URL are also very handy, so could be fetch VS current
http get.

encodeURIComponent is there too ... why is that?

Etcetera
