WHAT are "promises"???


See
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise>.
  I read it and still do not understand it.  Maybe you will do better.

I did not understand it either.  Since it is so obscure, perhaps, in the 
release notes, there should be a (very) large
information box with instructions to disable promises.

When a function is called it normally succeeds or fails, but with a 
communications
interface there is also the interminal no-answer-yet, in other words a "hang!" 
So
instead of hanging or failing or succeeding there is now a 'promise' that means
"my server is not dead, but we'll have our people call your people".
