Description Mark Macdonald CLA 2012-07-31 12:07:16 EDT 
'all' should be a static method that returns a new Deferred. Currently it is an instance method of Deferreds, which leads to weird code like

> new Deferred().all(promises).then( ... )

This will also align more closely with dojo/promise/all [1], Q.all [2], etc.
