Wrong reasoning for why $q.when() required no extra work to adopt foreign promises

[prashantpalikhe]

Notice that we didn’t really have to do anything to make the adoption of foreign Promises work. That’s because our then implementation already knows how to wrap a foreign Promise, and when merely wraps then.

then implementation is not aware of wrapping foreign promise, resolve is.

defer.resolve(value) knows if the value being passed is a thenable (foreing promise) and waits until the foregin promise is resolved before resolving itself.
