/**
* Catches errors on the observable to be handled by returning a new observable or throwing an error.

* @example <caption>Continues with a different Observable when there's an error</caption>
*
* Observable.of(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
* .map(n => {
* if (n == 4) {
* throw 'four!';
* }
* return n;
* })
* .catch(err => Observable.of('I', 'II', 'III', 'IV', 'V'))
* .subscribe(x => console.log(x));
* // 1, 2, 3, I, II, III, IV, V
*
* @example <caption>Retries the caught source Observable again in case of error, similar to retry() operator</caption>
*
* Observable.of(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
* .map(n => {
* if (n === 4) {
* throw 'four!';
* }
* return n;
* })
* .catch((err, caught) => caught)

* @example <caption>Throws a new error when the source Observable throws an error</caption>
*
* Observable.of(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
* .map(n => {
* if (n == 4) {
* throw 'four!';
* }
* return n;
* })
* .catch(err => {
* throw 'error in source. Details: ' + err;
* })
* .subscribe(
* x => console.log(x),
* err => console.log(err)
* );
* // 1, 2, 3, error in source. Details: four!
*
* @param {function} selector a function that takes as arguments `err`, which is the error, and `caught`, which
* is the source observable, in case you'd like to "retry" that observable by returning it again. Whatever observable
* is returned by the `selector` will be used to continue the observable chain.
