/**
 * Returns an Observable that emits all items emitted by the source Observable that are distinct by comparison from the previous item,
 * using a property accessed by using the key provided to check if the two items are distinct.
 *
 * If a comparator function is provided, then it will be called for each item to test for whether or not that value should be emitted.
 *
 * If a comparator function is not provided, an equality check is used by default.
 *
 * @example <caption>An example comparing the name of persons</caption>
 *
 *  interface Person {
 *     age: number,
 *     name: string
 *  }
 *
 * Observable.of<Person>(
 *     { age: 4, name: 'Foo'},
 *     { age: 7, name: 'Bar'},
 *     { age: 5, name: 'Foo'},
 *     { age: 6, name: 'Foo'})
 *     .distinctUntilKeyChanged('name')
 *     .subscribe(x => console.log(x));
 *
 * // displays:
 * // { age: 4, name: 'Foo' }
 * // { age: 7, name: 'Bar' }
 * // { age: 5, name: 'Foo' }
 *
 * @example <caption>An example comparing the first letters of the name</caption>

 * interface Person {

 *
 * Observable.of<Person>(
