/**
 * Asynchronously subscribes Observers to this Observable on the specified {@link SchedulerLike}.
 *
 * With `subscribeOn` you can decide what type of scheduler a specific Observable will be using when it is subscribed to.
 *
 * Schedulers control the speed and order of emissions to observers from an Observable stream.
 *
 * ![](subscribeOn.png)
 *
 * ## Example
 *
 * Given the following code:
 *
 * ```ts
 * import { of, merge } from 'rxjs';
 *
 * const a = of(1, 2, 3);
 * const b = of(4, 5, 6);
 *
 * merge(a, b).subscribe(console.log);
 *
 * // Outputs
 * // 1
 * // 2
 * // 3
 * // 4
 * // 5
 * // 6
 * ```
 *
 * Both Observable `a` and `b` will emit their values directly and synchronously once they are subscribed to.
 *
 * If we instead use the `subscribeOn` operator declaring that we want to use the {@link asyncScheduler} for values emitted by Observable `a`:
 *
 * ```ts
 * import { of, subscribeOn, asyncScheduler, merge } from 'rxjs';
 *
 * const a = of(1, 2, 3).pipe(subscribeOn(asyncScheduler));
 * const b = of(4, 5, 6);
 *
 * merge(a, b).subscribe(console.log);
 *
 * // Outputs
 * // 4
 * // 5
 * // 6
 * // 1
 * // 2
 * // 3
 * ```
 *
 * The reason for this is that Observable `b` emits its values directly and synchronously like before
 * but the emissions from `a` are scheduled on the event loop because we are now using the {@link asyncScheduler} for that specific Observable.
 *
 * @param scheduler The {@link SchedulerLike} to perform subscription actions on.
 * @param delay A delay to pass to the scheduler to delay subscriptions
 * @return A function that returns an Observable modified so that its
 * subscriptions happen on the specified {@link SchedulerLike}.
