Promisify a callback-based function using [`any-promise`](https://github.com/kevinbeaty/any-promise).
- Preserves function names
- Uses a native promise implementation if available and tries to fall back to a promise implementation such as `bluebird`
- Converts multiple arguments from the callback into an `Array`
- Resulting function never deoptimizes
- Supports both callback and promise style
An added benefit is that `throw`n errors in that async function will be caught by the promise!
## API
- Turn async functions into promises
```js
var thenify = require('thenify');
var somethingAsync = thenify(function somethingAsync(a, b, c, callback) {
callback(null, a, b, c);
});
```
- Backward compatible with callback
```js
var thenify = require('thenify').withCallback;
var somethingAsync = thenify(function somethingAsync(a, b, c, callback) {
callback(null, a, b, c);
});
// somethingAsync(a, b, c).then(onFulfilled).catch(onRejected);
// somethingAsync(a, b, c, function () {});
```
### var fn = thenify(fn)
