import { distinct as higherOrder } from '../operators/distinct';
/**
* Returns an Observable that emits all items emitted by the source Observable that are distinct by comparison from previous items.
*
* If a keySelector function is provided, then it will project each value from the source observable into a new value that it will
* check for equality with previously projected values. If a keySelector function is not provided, it will use each value from the
* source observable directly with an equality check against previous values.
*
* In JavaScript runtimes that support `Set`, this operator will use a `Set` to improve performance of the distinct value checking.
*
* In other runtimes, this operator will use a minimal implementation of `Set` that relies on an `Array` and `indexOf` under the
* hood, so performance will degrade as more values are checked for distinction. Even in newer browsers, a long-running `distinct`
* use might result in memory leaks. To help alleviate this in some scenarios, an optional `flushes` parameter is also provided so
* that the internal `Set` can be "flushed", basically clearing it of values.
*
* @example <caption>A simple example with numbers</caption>
* Observable.of(1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 1)
* .distinct()
* .subscribe(x => console.log(x)); // 1, 2, 3, 4
*
* @example <caption>An example using a keySelector function</caption>
* interface Person {
* age: number,
* name: string
* }
*
* Observable.of<Person>(
* { age: 4, name: 'Foo'},
* { age: 7, name: 'Bar'},
* { age: 5, name: 'Foo'})
* .distinct((p: Person) => p.name)
* .subscribe(x => console.log(x));
*
* // displays:
* // { age: 4, name: 'Foo' }
* // { age: 7, name: 'Bar' }

* @param {function} [keySelector] Optional function to select which value you want to check as distinct.
* @param {Observable} [flushes] Optional Observable for flushing the internal HashSet of the operator.
* @return {Observable} An Observable that emits items from the source Observable with distinct values.
