(* We represent futures by an object { fut : <promise> } with a single
   [fut] JavaScript Promise object which, by construction, *never*
   rejects. The promise is wrapped in an object because JavaScript's
   [resolve] which should be monadic [return] unfortunately also
   monadically [join]s. This JavaScript expression:

     Promise.resolve (Promise.resolve ("Noooooo!"))

   evaluates to:  Promise {<fulfilled>: "Noooooo!"}
     instead of:  Promise {<fulfilled>: Promise {<fulfilled>: ""Noooooo!""}}

   This makes it impossible to type [resolve] correctly in OCaml since it
   would need to have these two types:

     val resolve : 'a -> 'a Promise.t
     val resolve : 'a Promise.t -> 'a Promise.t

   In general this breaks type safety for example [bind]ing a ['a
   Fut.t Fut.t] value your function could end up with a ground value
   of type ['a] not the expected ['a Fut.t] value as argument. By
   wrapping the promise in an object we can control that. *)
