21+ * When any of the provided Observable emits an complete or error notification, it immediately subscribes to the next one
22+ * that was passed.
23+ *
24+ * <span class="informal">Execute series of Observables no matter what, even if it means swallowing errors.</span>
25+ *
26+ * <img src="./img/onErrorResumeNext.png" width="100%">
27+ *
28+ * `onErrorResumeNext` is an operator that accepts a series of Observables, provided either directly as
29+ * arguments or as an array. If no single Observable is provided, returned Observable will simply behave the same
30+ * as the source.
31+ *
32+ * `onErrorResumeNext` returns an Observable that starts by subscribing and re-emitting values from the source Observable.
33+ * When its stream of values ends - no matter if Observable completed or emitted an error - `onErrorResumeNext`
34+ * will subscribe to the first Observable that was passed as an argument to the method. It will start re-emitting
35+ * its values as well and - again - when that stream ends, `onErrorResumeNext` will proceed to subscribing yet another
36+ * Observable in provided series, no matter if previous Observable completed or ended with an error. This will
37+ * be happening until there is no more Observables left in the series, at which point returned Observable will
38+ * complete - even if the last subscribed stream ended with an error.
39+ *
40+ * `onErrorResumeNext` can be therefore though of as version of {@link concat} operator, which is more permissive
41+ * when it comes to the errors emitted by its input Observables. While `concat` subscribes to the next Observable
42+ * in series only if previous one successfully completed, `onErrorResumeNext` subscribes even if it ended with
43+ * an error.
44+ *
45+ * Note that you do not get any access to errors emitted by the Observables. In particular do not
46+ * expect these errors to appear in error callback passed to {@link subscribe}. If you want to take
47+ * specific actions based on what error was emitted by an Observable, you should try out {@link catch} instead.
48+ *
49+ *
50+ * @example <caption>Subscribe to the next Observable after map fails</caption>
51+ * Rx.Observable.of(1, 2, 3, 0)
52+ * .map(x => {
53+ * if (x === 0) { throw Error(); }
54+ return 10 / x;
55+ * })
56+ * .onErrorResumeNext(Rx.Observable.of(1, 2, 3))
57+ * .subscribe(
58+ * val => console.log(val),
59+ * err => console.log(err), // Will never be called.
60+ * () => console.log('that\'s it!')
61+ * );
62+ *
63+ * // Logs:
64+ * // 10
65+ * // 5
66+ * // 3.3333333333333335
67+ * // 1
68+ * // 2
69+ * // 3
70+ * // "that's it!"
71+ *
72+ * @see {@link concat }
73+ * @see {@link catch }
74+ *
75+ * @param {...ObservableInput } observables Observables passed either directly or as an array.
76+ * @return {Observable } An Observable that emits values from source Observable, but - if it errors - subscribes
77+ * to the next passed Observable and so on, until it completes or runs out of Observables.
78+ * @method onErrorResumeNext
