	 * Periodically execute the task function on the msec delay. The result of
	 * the task may be verified by watching for a condition to become true. The
	 * returned deferred is cancellable if the polling needs to be cancelled
	 * externally before reaching a resolved state.
	 *
	 * The next vote is scheduled after the results of the current vote are
	 * verified and rejected.
	 *
	 * Polling may be terminated by the verifier returning a truthy value,
	 * invoking cancel() on the returned promise, or the task function returning
	 * a rejected promise.
	 *
	 * Usage:
	 *
	 * var count = 0;
	 * function doSomething() { return count++ }
	 *
	 * // poll until cancelled
	 * var p = poll(doSomething, 1000);
	 * ...
	 * p.cancel();
	 *
	 * // poll until condition is met
	 * poll(doSomething, 1000, function(result) { return result > 10 })
	 *     .then(function(result) { assert result == 10 });
	 *
	 * // delay first vote
	 * poll(doSomething, 1000, anyFunc, true);
	 *
	 * @param task {Function} function that is executed after every timeout
	 * @param interval {number|Function} timeout in milliseconds
	 * @param [verifier] {Function} function to evaluate the result of the vote.
	 *     May return a {Promise} or a {Boolean}. Rejecting the promise or a
	 *     falsey value will schedule the next vote.
	 * @param [delayInitialTask] {boolean} if truthy, the first vote is scheduled
	 *     instead of immediate
	 *
	 * @returns {Promise}
