Suppose the caller asks to fetch 3 objects, A, B and C, from two
promisors. The first promisor can give you A and B but cannot give
you C. The second promisor only can give you C.
Does fetch_objects() return failure after attempting to fetch A, B
and C from the first promisor? Then we go on to the second promisor
but do we ask all three? That would mean the second promisor will
also fail because it cannot give you A and B, and then the whole
thing would fail. It would be nicer if the mechanism would allow us
to fetch what is still missing from later promisor, perhaps.
As the original "fetch" protocol only allows you to fetch a pack
with everything you asked for in it, instead of feeding you a pack
with best effort, I think the answer to the above is "it is very
hard to improve over what we have here", but people may have
interesting ideas ;-)

Adding trailing blank line at the end?
