/**
 * Returns an Observable that emits all items emitted by the source Observable that are distinct by comparison from previous items.
 * 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.
 * As the internal HashSet of this operator grows larger and larger, care should be taken in the domain of inputs this operator may see.
 * An optional parameter is also provided such that an Observable can be provided to queue the internal HashSet to flush the values it holds.
 * @param {function} [compare] optional comparison function called to test if an item is distinct from previous items in the source.
 * @param {Observable} [flushes] optional Observable for flushing the internal HashSet of the operator.
 * @return {Observable} an Observable that emits items from the source Observable with distinct values.
 * @method distinct
 * @owner Observable
