@ngdoc error
@name $q:qcycle

function passed to `then`. The A+ 1.1 spec mandates that this behavior throw a TypeError.

```
var promise = $q.defer().promise;

//bad
promise.then(function (val) {
  //Cannot return self
  return promise;
});

//good
promise.then(function (val) {
  return 'some other value';
});
```
