-+promise.addCallback(listener)+ ::
-Adds a listener for the +"success"+ event. Returns the same promise object.
-The listener is executed right away if the promise has already fired.
-
-+promise.addErrback(listener)+ ::
-Adds a listener for the +"error"+ event. Returns the same promise object.
-The listener is executed right away if the promise has already fired.
-
-+promise.emitSuccess(arg1, arg2, ...)+ ::
-If you created the promise (by doing +new events.Promise()+) then call
-+emitSuccess+ to emit the +"success"+ event with the given arguments. 
-+
-(+promise.emit("success", arg1, arg2, ...)+ should also work, but doesn't at
-the moment due to a bug; use +emitSuccess+ instead.)
-
-+promise.emitError(arg1, arg2, ...)+ ::
-Emits the +"error"+ event. If no error handler is attached to the promise
-between +promise.emitError()+ and +process.nextTick()+, an exception is
-thrown.
-+
-To explain the exception behavior, assume you have a "computeQuestion"
-function as follows:
-+
-----------------------------------------
-var events = require('events');
-function computeQuestion(answer) {
-  var promise = new events.Promise();
-  if (answer !== 42) {
-    promise.emitError('wrong answer');
-    return promise;
-  }
-  // compute the question for 42
-
-  return promise;
-}
-----------------------------------------
-+
-You can stop an exception to be thrown here by attaching an errback handler
-right away (in the same event loop tick) like this:
-+
-----------------------------------------
-computeQuestion(23).addErrback(function() {
-  // No exception will be thrown
-});
-----------------------------------------
-+
-However, if you try to  attach the error handler in a later tick, the promise
-will already have thrown an exception:
-+
-----------------------------------------
-var promise = computeQuestion(23);
-setTimeout(function() {
-  promise.addErrback(function() {
-    // This will never execute, 
-    // the promise already threw an exception
-  });
-}, 1000);
-----------------------------------------
-
-+promise.timeout(timeout = undefined)+ ::
-If the +timeout+ parameter is provided, the promise will emit an +"error"+
-event after the given amount of milliseconds. The timeout is canceled by any
-+"success"+ or +"error"+ event being emitted by the promise.
-+
-To tell a timeout apart from a regular "error" event, use the following test:
-+
-----------------------------------------
-promise.addErrback(function(e) {
-  if (e instanceof Error && e.message === "timeout") {
-    // handle timeout
-  } else {
-    // handle regular error
-  }
-});
-----------------------------------------
-+
-If the +timeout+ parameter is not provided, the current timeout value, if any,
-is returned.
