(defun request-deferred (url &rest args)
  "Send a request and return deferred object associated with it.

Following deferred callback takes a response object regardless of
the response result.  To make sure no error occurs during the
request, check `request-response-error-thrown'.

Arguments are the same as `request', but COMPLETE callback cannot
be used as it is used for starting deferred callback chain.

Example::

  (require 'request-deferred)

  (deferred:$
    (request-deferred \"http://httpbin.org/get\" :parser 'json-read)
    (deferred:nextc it
      (lambda (response)
        (message \"Got: %S\" (request-response-data response)))))
"

  (let* ((d (deferred:new #'identity))
         (callback-post (apply-partially
                         (lambda (d &rest args)
                           (deferred:callback-post
                             d (plist-get args :response)))
                         d)))
    ;; As `deferred:errorback-post' requires an error object to be
    ;; posted, use `deferred:callback-post' for success and error
    ;; cases.
    (setq args (plist-put args :complete callback-post))
    (apply #'request url args)
    d))
