In mithril promises if you return undefined from then, the promise will fulfill with the previous value, I.E. it behaves like .tap in other promise libraries (because doing this in a .then like mithril does violates the spec - which is evidently surprising)

However, with unbound console.log the code doesn't work at all, this is the case in Chrome for example.

The breaks from A+ are pretty serious, both the treatment of undefined and releasing zalgo (http://blog.izs.me/post/59142742143/designing-apis-for-async...) and calling it a feature. Not on the hunt for a client side micro-framework but since I use a lot of modules that supply promises there's no way I'd use this.
