Decoration of $q defer.promise

[egobrain]

I want to decorate $q defer promise. Here is some code:

 $provide.decorator('$q', function ($delegate) {
    var defer = $delegate.defer;
    $delegate.defer = function () {
      var deferred = defer();
      deferred.promise.success = function (fn) {
        deferred.promise.then(function (value) {
          fn(value);
        });
        return deferred.promise;
      };
      deferred.promise.error = function (fn) {
        deferred.promise.then(null, function (value) {
          fn(value);
        });
        return deferred.promise;
      };
      return deferred;
    };
    return $delegate;

All is ok in simple case:

var def = $q.defer()
def.promise.success(function(data) {...});

But when i use $q functions like then, all, when returned promise has no success and error methods, because of internally $q closures old defer function implementation and uses non-decorated code for constructing defer objects.

I made a post about this issue and a way around it on my blog:
Extending $q promises

Check it out if it's still relevant.

With the post from @wejendorp, I think this can be closed
