 * Represents all of the notifications from the source Observable as `next`

 *
 * `materialize` returns an Observable that emits a `next` notification for each
 * `next`, `error`, or `complete` emission of the source Observable. When the
 * source Observable emits `complete`, the output Observable will emit `next` as
 * a Notification of type "complete", and then it will emit `complete` as well.
 * When the source Observable emits `error`, the output will emit `next` as a
 * Notification of type "error", and then `complete`.
 *
 * This operator is useful for producing metadata of the source Observable, to
 * be consumed as `next` emissions. Use it in conjunction with
 * {@link dematerialize}.
 *
 * @example <caption>Convert a faulty Observable to an Observable of Notifications</caption>
 * var letters = Rx.Observable.of('a', 'b', 13, 'd');
 * var upperCase = letters.map(x => x.toUpperCase());
 * var materialized = upperCase.materialize();
 * materialized.subscribe(x => console.log(x));
 *
 * @see {@link Notification}
 * @see {@link dematerialize}
 *
 * @return {Observable<Notification<T>>} An Observable that emits
 * {@link Notification} objects that wrap the original emissions from the source
 * Observable with metadata.
