Re: [heycam/webidl] Async constructors? (`new Foo()` returning Promise<Foo>) (#563)

I don't think this is a good idea. Even though JavaScript is flexible enough to do otherwise, a constructor should return an instance of the class being constructed. ie, `new Foo() instanceof Foo` should always be true. Static factory methods are a fine way to asynchronously create instances.
