Shorthand for defining promise error handlers - $q.fail()

[pelme]

Kris Kowal's Q provides the fail() shorthand for defining error handlers.

Error handlers can then be defined as

promise.fail(function(error) { ... })

instead of

promise.then(null, function(error) { ... })

... which feels a bit clunky.

I realize that Angular's $q is meant to be minimal and without the bells and whistles of Q, so this might not be worth adding to Angulars $q implementation.

If you consider that fail() would be feasible to include in Angular's $q, let me know and I will be happy to create a pull request with a patch!

+1. fail in Kris Kowal's Q makes cleaner code and better error handling.

Is it possible to get another shorthand for when notification comes in, a shorthand for .then(null,null, onNotify);
