/**
 * Creates a function which is a composition of the passed asynchronous
 * functions. Each function consumes the return value of the function that
 * follows. Composing functions `f()`, `g()`, and `h()` would produce the result
 * of `f(g(h()))`, only this version uses callbacks to obtain the return values.
 *
 * If the last argument to the composed function is not a function, a promise
 * is returned when you call it.
 *
 * Each function is executed with the `this` binding of the composed function.

 * @returns {Function} an asynchronous function that is the composed
 * asynchronous `functions`
 * @example
 *
 * function add1(n, callback) {
 *     setTimeout(function () {
 *         callback(null, n + 1);
 *     }, 10);
 * }
 *
 * function mul3(n, callback) {
 *     setTimeout(function () {
 *         callback(null, n * 3);
 *     }, 10);
 * }
 *
 * var add1mul3 = async.compose(mul3, add1);
 * add1mul3(4, function (err, result) {
 *     // result now equals 15
