`requests.peek()` converts an HTTP response into a table for easy inspection.
The output table includes the following columns:
- **body** with the response body as a string
- **statusCode** with the returned status code as an integer
- **headers** with a string representation of the headers
- **duration** the duration of the request as a number of nanoseconds
To customize how the response data is structured in a table, use `array.from()`
with a function like `json.parse()`. Parse the response body into a set of values
and then use `array.from()` to construct a table from those values.
##### Function type signature
```js
(
response: {A with statusCode: E, headers: D, duration: C, body: B},
) => stream[{statusCode: E, headers: string, duration: int, body: string}]
```
