  Description     : JavaScript library for promises (CommonJS/Promises/A,B,D)

Q is a tool for creating and composing asynchronous promises in JavaScript.

If a function cannot return a value or throw an exception without blocking,
it can return a promise instead. A promise is an object that represents the
return value or the thrown exception that the function may eventually provide.
A promise can also be used as a proxy for a remote object to overcome latency.


node-q iss required for node-get-down (#779302) which in turn is
required for closure-util (#774562).

The node-q package will be maintained in the JavaScript team.
