Here is code that breaks with that solution:

```
function createParser(code) { return {then: chainedTransformation => {
...; return this; } } }

waitForFormSubmit()
.then(e => $.get(getUrlFromUrlField()))
.then(code => createParser(code, options))
```

1. If you're just importing AssimilatingPromise, the DOM-interacting
function returns a regular Promise and breaks when it gets to the
unbranded jQuery $.get
2. If you're overriding the global Promise with AssimilatingPromise, it
breaks at createParser as the parser gets assimilated (infact it will go
into an endless loop)

1. If you're just importing AssimilatingPromise, the DOM-interacting function returns a regular Promise and breaks when it gets to the unbranded jQuery `$.get`
2. If you're overriding the global Promise with AssimilatingPromise, it breaks at createParser as the parser gets assimilated (infact it will go into an endless loop)
