Firefox exposes Worker in Window, DedicatedWorker, and SharedWorker. Chrome in Window and DedicatedWorker.

Firefox exposes SharedWorker in Window. Chrome does so as well.

(Safari doesn't support shared workers and I have it on good authority they don't expose Worker in service workers.)

@nhiroki @hiroshige-g @asutherland what shall we do? Align with Firefox? 😊

@nhiroki @hiroshige-g ping. If you could review web-platform-tests/wpt#23381 too that'd be great.

Filed https://crbug.com/1088481 for Chromium. Exposing dedicated workers in shared workers sounds good, I'm not sure if we can start working on this soon though. Do you know any use cases of this feature? That would be useful for prioritization.
