--- Comment #5 from Jonas Sicking <jonas@sicking.cc> ---
Note that it is debated if Promise.cast(x) should mutate x (by freezing it).
This is discussed in

https://github.com/domenic/promises-unwrapping/issues/79

If the outcome of that discussion is indeed to freeze the passed in value, that
likely makes Promise.cast inappropriate to ever call implicitly, such as during
a type conversion.

In that case using Promise.resolve might be more appropriate.
