/**
 * Buffers the source Observable values for a specific time period.
 *
 * <span class="informal">Collects values from the past as an array, and emits
 * those arrays periodically in time.</span>
 *
 * <img src="./img/bufferTime.png" width="100%">
 *
 * Buffers values from the source for a specific time duration `bufferTimeSpan`.
 * Unless the optional argument `bufferCreationInterval` is given, it emits and
 * resets the buffer every `bufferTimeSpan` milliseconds. If
 * `bufferCreationInterval` is given, this operator opens the buffer every
 * `bufferCreationInterval` milliseconds and closes (emits and resets) the
 * buffer every `bufferTimeSpan` milliseconds. When the optional argument
 * `maxBufferSize` is specified, the buffer will be closed either after
 * `bufferTimeSpan` milliseconds or when it contains `maxBufferSize` elements.
 *
 * @example <caption>Every second, emit an array of the recent click events</caption>
 * var clicks = Rx.Observable.fromEvent(document, 'click');
 * var buffered = clicks.bufferTime(1000);
 * buffered.subscribe(x => console.log(x));
 *
 * @example <caption>Every 5 seconds, emit the click events from the next 2 seconds</caption>
 * var clicks = Rx.Observable.fromEvent(document, 'click');
 * var buffered = clicks.bufferTime(2000, 5000);
 * buffered.subscribe(x => console.log(x));
