/**
 * Base reactive classes: Flowable, Observable, Single and Completable; base reactive consumers;
 * other common base interfaces.
 *
 * A library that enables subscribing to and composing asynchronous events and
 * callbacks.
 * The Flowable/Subscriber, Observable/Observer, Single/SingleObserver and
 * Completable/CompletableObserver interfaces and associated operators (in
 * the {@code io.reactivex.internal.operators} package) are inspired by the
 * Reactive Rx library in Microsoft .NET but designed and implemented on
 * the more advanced Reactive-Streams ( http://www.reactivestreams.org ) principles.
 * 
 * More information can be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/gg577609.
 * 
 *
 *
 * Compared with the Microsoft implementation:
 * 

 * Observable == IObservable (base type)
 * Observer == IObserver (event consumer)
 * Disposable == IDisposable (resource/cancellation management)
 * Observable == Observable (factory methods)
 * Flowable == IAsyncEnumerable (backpressure)
 * Subscriber == IAsyncEnumerator
 * 
 * The Single and Completable reactive base types have no equivalent in Rx.NET as of 3.x.
 * 
 * Services which intend on exposing data asynchronously and wish
 * to allow reactive processing and composition can implement the
 * {@link io.reactivex.Flowable}, {@link io.reactivex.Observable}, {@link io.reactivex.Single}
 * or {@link io.reactivex.Completable} class which then allow consumers to subscribe to them
 * and receive events.
 * Usage examples can be found on the {@link io.reactivex.Flowable}/{@link io.reactivex.Observable} and {@link org.reactivestreams.Subscriber} classes.
