I've just been playing with Promises and like them a lot. But one thing I find strange is that ".then()" creates a new promise, but with no way to reject it.

ie. I can't write:

  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    // Do some stuff, call resolve()/reject() on success/failure.
  }).then((step1Val, resolve, reject) => {
    // Do some stuff, call resolve()/reject() on success/failure.
    // But this doesn't actually work, because the "then" callback
    // doesn't get resolve/reject as args.
  });

Instead I'm having to write this as the following, which is more verbose:

  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    // Do some stuff, call resolve()/reject() on success/failure.
  }).then(new Promise((resolve, reject) = {
    // Do some stuff, call resolve()/reject() on success/failure.
    // But this way I don't get access to step1Val.
  }));

Another bummer of this style is that that the second step doesn't get access to the first step's value.
