Note that `Promise.resolve(p)`, where p is a promise, does *not* return an eventual for the eventual value of p. Rather, it returns an eventual for p, literally. Promises should be considered fully parametric (in other words, nestable). If you want to convert a maybe-promise into a promise, then you want `cast`.
