Promises are my preferred way of managing my asynchronous code in Javascript. Memoize (memoizee on npm) is a Javascript library for easily caching & pre-fetching results of functions. Ideally I want to combine the best of both, and have the ability to "expire" a Promise and pre-fetch a new Promise result (when the cache is touched and near to expiring).
