/**
* A Promisor represents a contract to resolve a deferred value at some point in the future
*
* A Promisor resolves its associated placeholder value (Promise) Promisor::succeed() or
* Promisor::fail(). Promisor::update() may be used to notify watchers of progress resolving
* the deferred value.
*
* Example:
*
* function myAsyncProducer() {
* // Create a new promisor that needs to be resolved
* $promisor = new Amp\Deferred;
*
* // When we eventually finish non-blocking value resolution we
* // simply call the relevant Promise method to notify any code
* // with references to the Promisor's associated Promise:
* // $promisor->succeed($value) -or- $promisor->fail($exceptionObj)
*
* return $promisor->promise();
* }
*
* The following correlations exist between Promisor and Promise methods:
*
* - Promisor::update | Promise::watch
* - Promisor::succeed | Promise::when
* - Promisor::fail | Promise::when
