* Takes a 'traditional' callback/errback-taking function and returns a function

* depends on whether the original function will call its callback or its
* errback.
*
* If additional arguments are passed to the `lift` call, they will be prepended
* on the calls to the original function, much like `Function.prototype.bind`.
*
* The resulting function is also "promise-aware", in the sense that, if given
* promises as arguments, it will wait for their resolution before executing.
*
* @example
* function traditionalAjax(method, url, callback, errback) {
* var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
* xhr.open(method, url);
*
* xhr.onload = callback;
* xhr.onerror = errback;
*
* xhr.send();

* var promiseAjaxGet = callbacks.lift(traditionalAjax, "GET");
* promiseAjaxGet("/movies.json").then(console.log, console.error);

* @param {...*} [args] arguments to be prepended for the new function @deprecated
* @returns {Function} a promise-returning function

/**
* `promisify` is a version of `lift` that allows fine-grained control over the
* arguments that passed to the underlying function. It is intended to handle
* functions that don't follow the common callback and errback positions.
*
* The control is done by passing an object whose 'callback' and/or 'errback'
* keys, whose values are the corresponding 0-based indexes of the arguments on
* the function. Negative values are interpreted as being relative to the end
* of the arguments array.
*
* If arguments are given on the call to the 'promisified' function, they are
* intermingled with the callback and errback. If a promise is given among them,
* the execution of the function will only occur after its resolution.
*
* @example
* var delay = callbacks.promisify(setTimeout, {
* callback: 0
* });
*
* delay(100).then(function() {
* console.log("This happens 100ms afterwards");
* });
*
* @example
* function callbackAsLast(errback, followsStandards, callback) {
* if(followsStandards) {
* callback("well done!");
* } else {
* errback("some programmers just want to watch the world burn");
* }
* }
*
* var promisified = callbacks.promisify(callbackAsLast, {
* callback: -1,
* errback: 0,
* });
*
* promisified(true).then(console.log, console.error);
* promisified(false).then(console.log, console.error);
*
* @param {Function} asyncFunction traditional function to be decorated
* @param {object} positions
* @param {number} [positions.callback] index at which asyncFunction expects to
* receive a success callback
* @param {number} [positions.errback] index at which asyncFunction expects to
* receive an error callback
* @returns {function} promisified function that accepts
