Many years ago I used to write functions that *almost* always returned promises, except when they didn't. And I thought it was great, and efficient. I just needed to "lift" the values of a *possible promises* into an actual promises using something like Q.when. This works wonderfully, until you hit an exception in one of your zalgo-promise functions. This occurs before the promise chain has a chance to wrap and catch, so you're pretty well screwed.
Which means you have to wrap pretty much any zalgo-promise, or use some goofy apply mechanism. Assuming you meticulously add all this boilerplate then yes, at this point Juraj is right. It "solves" the problem (with a nextTick or equivalent, of course). But at what cost?
