Do to $q and Q what is done to jqLite and jQuery

[kentcdodds]

I noticed in an app I'm involved with that we're loading the Q library. It got me wondering if angular's $q service could use Q if it's on the page like jqLite uses jQuery if it's on the page. I believe this would be very useful. Would it be reasonably possible to implement?

we've talked about this (and it is somewhat possible with Bluebird, because you can change the nextTick scheduler it uses) --- but we don't really have a good way to do this, especially now that there are 2 promise implementations in angular which have to use different schedulers.

It's non-trivial, but it is technically doable with Bluebird at least, and it could work with Q if there's a way to change the scheduler

I guess this is more or less the same discussion as in #6697 so probably should centralise it in there, if we see it actionable at all....

😦

I'll close this issue in favor of #6697. Thanks @caitp and @pkozlowski-opensource
