/// Declares that a type can transmit a sequence of values over time.
///
/// There are four kinds of messages:
/// subscription - A connection between `Publisher` and `Subscriber`.
/// value - An element in the sequence.
/// error - The sequence ended with an error (`.failure(e)`).
/// complete - The sequence ended successfully (`.finished`).
///
/// Both `.failure` and `.finished` are terminal messages.
///
/// You can summarize these possibilities with a regular expression:
/// value*(error|finished)?
///
/// Every `Publisher` must adhere to this contract.
public protocol Publisher {
/// The kind of values published by this publisher.
associatedtype Output
/// The kind of errors this publisher might publish.
///
/// Use `Never` if this `Publisher` does not publish errors.
associatedtype Failure: Error
/// This function is called to attach the specified `Subscriber` to this `Publisher`
/// by `subscribe(_:)`
///
/// - SeeAlso: `subscribe(_:)`
/// - Parameters:
/// - subscriber: The subscriber to attach to this `Publisher`.
/// once attached it can begin to receive values.

/// Adopters of `Publisher` must implement `receive(subscriber:)`.
/// The implementation of `subscribe(_:)` in this extension calls through to
/// `receive(subscriber:)`.

/// - Parameters:
/// - subscriber: The subscriber to attach to this `Publisher`. After attaching,
