/**
* Filter items emitted by the source Observable by only emitting those that
* satisfy a specified predicate.
*
* <span class="informal">Like
* [Array.prototype.filter()](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/filter),
* it only emits a value from the source if it passes a criterion function.</span>
*
* <img src="./img/filter.png" width="100%">
*
* Similar to the well-known `Array.prototype.filter` method, this operator
* takes values from the source Observable, passes them through a `predicate`
* function and only emits those values that yielded `true`.
*
* @example <caption>Emit only click events whose target was a DIV element</caption>
* var clicks = Rx.Observable.fromEvent(document, 'click');
* var clicksOnDivs = clicks.filter(ev => ev.target.tagName === 'DIV');
* clicksOnDivs.subscribe(x => console.log(x));
*
* @see {@link distinct}
* @see {@link distinctUntilChanged}
* @see {@link distinctUntilKeyChanged}
* @see {@link ignoreElements}
* @see {@link partition}
* @see {@link skip}
*
* @param {function(value: T, index: number): boolean} predicate A function that
* evaluates each value emitted by the source Observable. If it returns `true`,
* the value is emitted, if `false` the value is not passed to the output
* Observable. The `index` parameter is the number `i` for the i-th source
* emission that has happened since the subscription, starting from the number
* `0`.
* @param {any} [thisArg] An optional argument to determine the value of `this`
* in the `predicate` function.
* @return {Observable} An Observable of values from the source that were
* allowed by the `predicate` function.
* @method filter
* @owner Observable
