Description

Take a trick from Node's promisify(..) utility... if asked to promisify a function that has a special symbol on it, the function at that symbol is returned, instead of creating a new one. Allows overriding the behavior of wrap not with the config params, but with meta data on the function being wrapped. Clever and useful.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study Node.js promisify symbol override mechanism, then implement a similar pattern in asynquence's wrap function.
