An AngularJS Service for intelligently geocoding addresses using Google's API. Makes use of localStorage (via the ngStorage package) to avoid unnecessary trips to the server. Queries Google's API synchronously to avoid `google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OVER_QUERY_LIMIT`
/*global angular: true, google: true, _ : true */

// Amount of time (in milliseconds) to pause between each trip to the
// Geocoding API, which places limits on frequency.
var queryPause = 250;
/**
* executeNext() - execute the next function in the queue.
* If a result is returned, fulfill the promise.
* If we get an error, reject the promise (with message).
* If we receive OVER_QUERY_LIMIT, increase interval and try again.
