Fun trivia, the promise absorption thing was dismissed when it was brought up, with the argument that the "ship had already sailed on that" and that the arguments for supporting promises of promises were too academic (in the detractors' words, it was "fantasy land").

The goal of this spec is to standardize on functional algebra nomenclature in JS. [1] https://github.com/fantasyland/fantasy-land https://github.com/fantasyland/fantasy-land
