Wanted to get some opinions on some far-too-common promise patterns to see if folks might consider them worth addressing. Both minor but exceedingly common.

1. The evil terrible empty catch handler... promise.catch(() => {}) ... done to suppress unhandled rejections when we don't actually care about rejections on those promises. Several web standard specs specifically indicate that rejections on certain promises should be marked as handled and V8 and other engines have native ways of marking these, but in JS all we have is adding the catch handler... which ends up creating another promise...

2. The never resolving promise... await new Promise(() => {})

For both, it might be nice to provide some syntactic sugar...

promise.markAsHandled();  // works on the current promise, no new promise created

await Promise.never();  // or maybe even Promise.never as a singleton that never settles

Both quite simple but useful
