/**
 * The Single class implements the Reactive Pattern for a single value response.
 * See {@link Flowable} or {@link Observable} for the
 * implementation of the Reactive Pattern for a stream or vector of values.
 * <p>
 * {@code Single} behaves the same as {@link Observable} except that it can only emit either a single successful
 * value, or an error (there is no "onComplete" notification as there is for {@link Observable})
 * <p>
 * Like an {@link Observable}, a {@code Single} is lazy, can be either "hot" or "cold", synchronous or
 * asynchronous.
 * <p>
 * The documentation for this class makes use of marble diagrams. The following legend explains these diagrams:
