const {resolve} = Promise; // fails

[Andrea Giammarchi]

As quickly discussed on Twitter, it's very inconvenient and inconsistent
that the following fails:

```js
const {resolve, reject} = Promise;

resolve(123); // throws
```

Compared to every other public static method in ECMAScript that works,
including those methods that might need the contextual class, as it is for
the Array.from case.

```js
const {from} = Array;

from({0: 'abc', length: 1}); // ["abc"] // all good
```

Why cannot Promise methods fallback to Promise constructor when the
class/context is not available?

Wouldn't be simple/reasonable change to make so that developers
expectations would be preserved?

Best Regards.
