I think you still want Promise.resolve because it makes sense with
Promise.reject and the instance methods on PromiseResolver. Promise.of
would be a good alias to have.

Sorry for the confusion. I thought you guys had already settled on
accepting what the DOM standard currently defines (no branding checks
of any kind, just use a callable then property, if any). If that's not
the case, writing out the desired behavior for then()/flatMap() here
would help.
