 that this is done by purpose, we want to call the async function and ignore the Promise.

+### Fetching data
+
+To fetch data, use the wrapper functions `GET`, `POST` etc. from `modules/fetch.js`. They
+accept a `data` option for the content, will automatically set CSFR token and return a
+Promise for a [Response](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Response).
+
 ### HTML Attributes and `dataset`
 
 The usage of `dataset` is forbidden, its camel-casing behaviour makes it hard to grep for attributes.
