// TODO(ry) It'd be better to make Deferred a class that inherits from
// Promise, rather than an interface. This is possible in ES2016, however
// typescript produces broken code when targeting ES5 code.
// See https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/15202
// At the time of writing, the github issue is closed but the problem remains.
