Re: [w3c/IndexedDB] Promise-based API (#42)

Hi,
The discussion is closed but it is not explicit (from an external point of view) that the #34 discussion talks about promise based API.
Is there a will to implement such feature ?

I know there is a quite popular library made by @jakearchibald but I think we should as possible rely on native implementations over library dependencies. This library is pretty popular (2000+ stars), so I think there is a need.
The callback way is very convoluted to the kind of web app that needs such technology as IndexedDB.

As a web developer point of view not familiar with the spec, I find the indexedDB is already quite verbose to use to not benefit from the ease of the promises and by extension async/await

There is the following note on this page: 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IDBObjectStoreSync


> The synchronous version of the IndexedDB API was originally intended for use only with Web Workers, and was eventually removed from the spec because its need was questionable. **It may however be reintroduced in the future if there is enough demand from web developers.**

I guess and I hope I am at the right place to ask 😄 

Thank you
