Request acts like Promise but not returning an actual Promise

[tiger31]

• Node.js - 8.11.4
• npm - 6.9.0
• request-promise-native : ^1.0.7

request(/*url*/) Has then and catch blocks but it's not an actual Promise instance. It returns Request.

Node.js log:

> const rq = require("request-promise-native")
undefined
> const axios = require('axios')
undefined
> (rq("https://google.com") instanceof Promise)
false
> (rq("https://google.com").then() instanceof Promise)
true
> (axios("https://google.com") instanceof Promise)
true

Please use rq(...).promise() to get the actual Promise.
