/**
* Rx Observables
*
* A library that enables subscribing to and composing asynchronous events and
* callbacks.
* The Observable/Observer interfaces and associated operators (in
* the .operations package) are inspired by and attempt to conform to the
* Reactive Rx library in Microsoft .Net.
*
* More information can be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/gg577609.
*
*
*
* Compared with the Microsoft implementation:
*
* - Observable == IObservable
* - Observer == IObserver
* - Subscription == IDisposable
* - ObservableExtensions == Observable
*
*
* Services which intend on exposing data asynchronously and wish
* to allow reactive processing and composition can implement the {@link rx.Observable} interface which then allows Observers to subscribe to them
* and receive events.
* Usage examples can be found on the {@link rx.Observable} and {@link rx.Subscriber} classes.
