/**
 * Branch out the source Observable values as a nested Observable using a
 * factory function of closing Observables to determine when to start a new
 * window.
 *
 * <span class="informal">It's like {@link bufferWhen}, but emits a nested
 * Observable instead of an array.</span>
 *
 * ![](windowWhen.png)
 *
 * Returns an Observable that emits windows of items it collects from the source
 * Observable. The output Observable emits connected, non-overlapping windows.
 * It emits the current window and opens a new one whenever the Observable
 * produced by the specified `closingSelector` function emits an item. The first
 * window is opened immediately when subscribing to the output Observable.
 *
 * ## Example
 * Emit only the first two clicks events in every window of [1-5] random seconds
 * ```ts
 * import { fromEvent, interval } from 'rxjs';
 * import { windowWhen, map, mergeAll, take } from 'rxjs/operators';
 *
 * const clicks = fromEvent(document, 'click');
 * const result = clicks.pipe(
 *   windowWhen(() => interval(1000 + Math.random() * 4000)),
 *   map(win => win.pipe(take(2))),     // each window has at most 2 emissions
 *   mergeAll()                         // flatten the Observable-of-Observables
 * );
 * result.subscribe(x => console.log(x));
 * ```

 * @return {Observable<Observable<T>>} An observable of windows, which in turn
