/**
* A solution to the "time gap" problem that occurs with {@code groupBy} and {@code pivot}.
*
* This currently has temporary unbounded buffers. It needs to become bounded and then do one of two things:
*
* - blow up and make the user do something about it
* - work with the backpressure solution ... still to be implemented (such as co-routines)
*
* Generally the buffer should be very short lived (milliseconds) and then stops being involved. It can become a
* memory leak though if a {@code GroupedObservable} backed by this class is emitted but never subscribed to
* (such as filtered out). In that case, either a time-bomb to throw away the buffer, or just blowing up and
* making the user do something about it is needed.
*
* For example, to filter out {@code GroupedObservable}s, perhaps they need a silent {@code subscribe()} on them
* to just blackhole the data.
*
* This is an initial start at solving this problem and solves the immediate problem of {@code groupBy} and
* {@code pivot} and trades off the possibility of memory leak for deterministic functionality.
*
* @see the Github issue describing the time gap problem
* @param
* the type of the items to be buffered
