/**
 * Returns an observable that mirrors the first source observable to emit an item.
 *
 * ![](race.png)
 *
 * `race` returns an observable, that when subscribed to, subscribes to all source observables immediately.
 * As soon as one of the source observables emits a value, the result unsubscribes from the other sources.
 * The resulting observable will forward all notifications, including error and completion, from the "winning"
 * source observable.
 *
 * If one of the used source observable throws an errors before a first notification
 * the race operator will also throw an error, no matter if another source observable
 * could potentially win the race.
 *
 * `race` can be useful for selecting the response from the fastest network connection for
 * HTTP or WebSockets. `race` can also be useful for switching observable context based on user
 * input.
 *
 * ## Example
 *
 * Subscribes to the observable that was the first to start emitting.
 *
 * ```ts
 * import { interval, map, race } from 'rxjs';
 *
 * const obs1 = interval(7000).pipe(map(() => 'slow one'));
 * const obs2 = interval(3000).pipe(map(() => 'fast one'));
 * const obs3 = interval(5000).pipe(map(() => 'medium one'));
 *
 * race(obs1, obs2, obs3)
 *   .subscribe(winner => console.log(winner));
 *
 * // Outputs
 * // a series of 'fast one'
 * ```
 *
 * @param sources Used to race for which `ObservableInput` emits first.
 * @return An Observable that mirrors the output of the first Observable to emit an item.
