/**
* Delays the emission of items from the source Observable by a given timeout or
* until a given Date.
*
* <span class="informal">Time shifts each item by some specified amount of
* milliseconds.</span>
*
* ![](delay.png)
*
* If the delay argument is a Number, this operator time shifts the source
* Observable by that amount of time expressed in milliseconds. The relative
* time intervals between the values are preserved.
*
* If the delay argument is a Date, this operator time shifts the start of the
* Observable execution until the given date occurs.
*
* ## Examples
* Delay each click by one second
* ```ts
* import { fromEvent } from 'rxjs';
* import { delay } from 'rxjs/operators';
*
* const clicks = fromEvent(document, 'click');
* const delayedClicks = clicks.pipe(delay(1000)); // each click emitted after 1 second
* delayedClicks.subscribe(x => console.log(x));
* ```
*
* Delay all clicks until a future date happens
* ```ts
* import { fromEvent } from 'rxjs';
* import { delay } from 'rxjs/operators';
*
* const clicks = fromEvent(document, 'click');
* const date = new Date('March 15, 2050 12:00:00'); // in the future
* const delayedClicks = clicks.pipe(delay(date)); // click emitted only after that date
* delayedClicks.subscribe(x => console.log(x));
* ```
*
* @see {@link debounceTime}
* @see {@link delayWhen}
*
* @param {number|Date} delay The delay duration in milliseconds (a `number`) or
* a `Date` until which the emission of the source items is delayed.
* @param {SchedulerLike} [scheduler=async] The {@link SchedulerLike} to use for
* managing the timers that handle the time-shift for each item.
* @return {Observable} An Observable that delays the emissions of the source
* Observable by the specified timeout or Date.
* @method delay
* @owner Observable
