It would be a shame to continue the trend of verbose web APIs. lockOrientation is nice. If it fails, the promise is rejected. Many operations can fail; this is not an argument for prefixing them with "request." Just lock the orientation. If there's a problem locking it, we'll deal with it :)

(But I admit the ship may have sailed and verbose web APIs is the precedent we must stick with.)

I am very curious what a MIDIAccessPromise is and how Blink implements it. It is not part of the ES6 promises spec.
