Reactive Extensions for modern JavaScript

 * Gets what should be in the `response` property of the XHR. However,
 * since we still support the final versions of IE, we need to do a little
 * checking here to make sure that we get the right thing back. Conquentally,
 * we need to do a JSON.parse() in here, which *could* throw if the response
 * isn't valid JSON.
 *
 * This is used both in creating an AjaxResponse, and in creating certain errors
 * that we throw, so we can give the user whatever was in the response property.
