Readd aiohttp.{get,post,...} shortcuts

[slice]

having these shortcuts in the requests library is very useful. they feel natural. having them in aiohttp would be even better. 😄

GitMate.io thinks the contributor most likely able to help you is @asvetlov.

Possibly related issues are #1403 ([QUESTION] aiohttp.ClientSession.request('GET') issue), #2224 (aiohttp.TCPConnector()), #469 (how to get the post data), #161 (aiohttp can't send files by POST request correct), and #1593 (Drop aiohttp.get(), aiohttp.options(), aiohttp.head(), aiohttp.post(), aiohttp.put(), aiohttp.patch(), aiohttp.delete(), and aiohttp.ws_connect()).

I not sure should we resurrect these functions or not.
Perhaps reasons for removal are gone today but I want to think carefully about it.

Maybe aiohttp.request('GET', url) can satify your needs?

Main problem of those shortcuts is that they became too popular to let users forget about Session thing, which isn't much popular in requests justs because of that. And because of that there around happens questions about cookies, state preserve, performance, keep-alive and others related to the session state. I think, one line with session open isn't higher price to not think about all of this.

I'm 👎 on this: aiohttp doesn't identify just an HTTP client, I'd rather not mix different namespaces into a spaghetti soup.

[asvetlov]

Looks like the decision is to reject the proposal, at least for aiohttp 4.x
