Feature request: fs async methods to return promises if callback is not provided.

[RobiFerentz]

Just a possible 'nice to have' feature, to match the current trend of things like the Fetch API etc.
Obviously this would only work in methods where the usual callback is called exactly once.

Please see the following issues on why this is still an in-discussion thing:

#11
#88
#173
#688

nodejs/NG#1
nodejs/NG#7

It is definitely on our radar, but I'm not sure if / when it will happen. We don't currently guarantee to have the same or similar APIs as the web.

I suggest if you want futher discussion that is not covered by the NG issues, that you file a new one on NG. :)
