It is a fork and refactor of AnyEvent::XSPromises, and retains that module's bare-bones interface. This is one of a few Promises implementations in perl, none of which have made it into debian yet. i think it's time to change that.

Glimpse supports most of agrep's options (agrep is our powerful version of grep) including approximate matching (e.g., finding misspelled words), Boolean queries, and even some limited forms of regular expressions. glimpse was present in non-free until 2008, as the license at that time wasn't DFSG-compatible (see #474323). upstream has switched the license to the ISC/simplified BSD in 2014, and glimpse should thus fit nicely into main.
