+ * `delayWhen` operator shifts each emitted value from the source Observable by

+ * The source value is emitted on the output Observable only when the "duration"

+ * Upon that, the "duration" Observable gets unsubscribed.

+ * Before RxJS V7, the {@link guide/glossary-and-semantics#complete completion}

+ * source value to the output Observable, but with RxJS V7, this is not the case
+ * anymore.
+ *
+ * Only next notifications (from the "duration" Observable) trigger values from
+ * the source Observable to be passed to the output Observable. If the "duration"
+ * Observable only emits the complete notification (without next), the value
+ * emitted by the source Observable will never get to the output Observable - it
+ * will be swallowed. If the "duration" Observable errors, the error will be
