await on synchronous functions

[Andrea Giammarchi]

If I might, if there's one thing that has never particularly shone in JS,
that is consistency.

I see only two possibilities here: 1) it throws with non Promises 2) it
"Promisify" anything that's not a Promise as if it was a
`Promise.resolve(1)` ... but since there's too much magic in the second
point, I'd rather stick with the first one.

Just my quick thoughts

Best Regards
