Feature request: pull to refresh

Bug, feature request, or proposal:

Feature request

What is the expected behavior?

When the user is at the top of a list and pulls, a refresh icon slides in. When the icon is fully visible and the user releases, the list is refreshed.
Material spec can be found here: https://material.io/guidelines/patterns/swipe-to-refresh.html

What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

We are building a web application using Angular Material, which we will be shipping as an app. We wish to conform to the Material spec and thus allow our users to refresh a list by pulling down.

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?

Angular: 5.2.3
Material: 5.1.1
TypeScript: 2.7.1

I think, in the process of displaying data to the user interface, "swipe to refresh", "infinite scroll" is essential and "swipe left/right" to effect toggle sidenav . It is presented in the material.io! Why we do not implement as main component of this repository?

Thank you for submitting your feature request! Looks like during the polling process it didn't collect a sufficient number of votes to move to the next stage.

We want to keep Angular rich and ergonomic and at the same time be mindful about its scope and learning journey. If you think your request could live outside Angular's scope, we'd encourage you to collaborate with the community on publishing it as an open source package.
