That looks terrible inefficient, so in our implementation we tried to make
chaining easier by returning a new promise from then() based on
promise.constructor. And once in the wild the issues started appearing like
someone trying to implement a LazyPromise and having issues chaining
then(). So we're considering reverting to returning a simple promise before
it becomes technical debt.
