// Subscription represents a stream of events. The carrier of the events is typically a

// channel. It receives a value if there is an issue with the subscription (e.g. the
// network connection delivering the events has been closed). Only one value will ever be
// sent.
//
// The error channel is closed when the subscription ends successfully (i.e. when the
// source of events is closed). It is also closed when Unsubscribe is called.

// The Unsubscribe method cancels the sending of events. You must call Unsubscribe in all
// cases to ensure that resources related to the subscription are released. It can be
// called any number of times.
