Why does AngularJS 2 HTTP Post only accepts string data?

Question

I am wondering why in AngularJS 2 (2.0.0-beta.13) the HTTP Post method only accepts string data as body and not a JavaScript object as is the case in AngularJS 1.

AngularJS-1:

$http.post(someUrl,someObject)

AngularJS-2:

http.post(someUrl, JSON.stringify(someObject))

Thanks

Because support for other types is not yet implemented https://github.com/angular/http/issues/75
