// Promise Queue
// Wraps promises to make sure they resolve in the order they were wrapped.
//
// Usage example:
// - Some asynchronous process starts fetching pages from a server in order
// - New requests may start before previous ones are finished
// - With some bad luck, page M may load before page N < M
// This means you can't just append pages as they arrive.
// PQueue will make sure promise M never resolves before promise N.
