Async requests are not handled correctly about alexa-app HOT 4 CLOSED

I see a couple ways to do this:

1. Create a new function called .done() or .send(), which internally sends back the json.
2. When a function is called that will send a response, internally wait till next tick and send the json.
3. Have a function .waitUntil() that returns a callback to call when your ready to send.

Option 3 and 2 are backwards compatible. Option 1 is closer to how node works internally, but breaks the abstraction a little bit. Option 3 is the easiest to implement, keeps the API simple, and allows the most flexibility to the developer.

I just submitted two pull requests for option 3. Personally, I like the one with promises, but native promises were only added recently in v0.12. You'd need to add a polyfill (and therefore a dependency) for support of v0.10 and lower.

Thanks!

Fixed in version 2.0, to be released soon. Intent handlers can now return false, and resolve the response promise whenever they are done with their work.
