/**
 * Helper class for creating a sliding window. Sliding windows have a fixed size and slide by a
 * specified slide interval. If the slide interval is smaller than the window size, sliding windows
 * are overlapping. Thus, an element can be assigned to multiple windows.
 *
 * For example, a sliding window of size 15 minutes with 5 minutes sliding interval groups
 * elements of 15 minutes and evaluates every five minutes. Each element is contained in three
 * consecutive window evaluations.
 *
 * 
Java Example:
 *
 * 
{@code
 * Slide.over("10.minutes").every("5.minutes").on("rowtime").as("w")
 * }
 *
 * Scala Example:
 *
 * 
{@code
 * Slide over 10.minutes every 5.minutes on 'rowtime as 'w
 * }
