/**
 * 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:

     * <p/>
     * By default, when a Single encounters an error that prevents it from emitting the expected item to
     * its {@link SingleObserver}, the Single invokes its SingleObserver's {@code onError} method, and then quits
     * without invoking any more of its SingleObserver's methods. The {@code onErrorResumeNext} method changes this
     * behavior. If you pass a function that will return another Single ({@code resumeFunctionInCaseOfError}) to a Single's
     * {@code onErrorResumeNext} method, if the original Single encounters an error, instead of invoking its
     * SingleObserver's {@code onError} method, it will instead relinquish control to {@code resumeSingleInCaseOfError} which
     * will invoke the SingleObserver's {@link SingleObserver#onSuccess onSuccess} method if it is able to do so. In such a case,
     * because no Single necessarily invokes {@code onError}, the SingleObserver may never know that an error
     * happened.
     * <p/>
