Sorry I misread your code. Your case assumes fileGetContent always returns
a Promise so my proposal won't be useful there because it's already used as
Promise.
My idea is more about migrating to full async code without changing all the
things around, giving an API the ability to behave differently.
Maybe it's too complicated or too magic to implement, that's OK anyway.
