well, nobody is supposed to use those directly, rather use EFL
primitives such as the main loop. Actually, although Eina_Future and
Eina_Promise are done in Eina, there is no scheduler/poller in it,
this must be provided externally and currently the only one doing it
is Ecore -- efl_loop_future_scheduler_get(loop).

maybe "console" was a dubious word, it's just calling printf() :-)
mostly targeted at debugging/logging, we can even add a variant that
uses eina_log, domains and levels but I'll wait for some need to
arise.
we called it "console" after JavaScript patterns such as:
bla_future().then(x => console.log("got x:", x));
which is a single line in JS but would be multiple in C. With our code
it becomes:
eina_future_chain(bla_future(), eina_future_cb_console("got x:"));
as simple ;-)
