It doesn't make sense to put a *value* between the <>. You should put
a *type* there. I.e. it doesn't make sense to do

Promise<1> returnOne();

The thing you do is

Promise<integer> returnOne();

'void' is the type for 'nothing', so that's what should be used for
functions that only return undefined. Whether they return that
synchronously or asynchronously.
