I can't say that this is a formal issue, so posting here.
I was surprised to see that the bullets at the end of section 20.3
were kept. After having enough fun with this, I certainly would enjoy
playing with an implementation that will implement these bullets.
However, I don't think that they should be kept in the current form,
with no real rationale or a discussion of the implications of treating
promises in the same way as their delayed values. If only for the
fact that I have seen several people who were unaware of this side
comment.
[One real problem in saying this: since this is now in a library, it
is even more questionable to keep these bullets, because implementing
them requires changes to the core implementation.]
