When I first read about the synchronous resolution flag I thought it made
sense, for example in the context of network requests. When a network
request is completed you can call resolve() with the synchronous flag
because you know you're in a new tick of the event loop. It basically
allows you to avoid scheduling notification in the future when you already
know you're being asynchronous.
