Returns a new Publisher by applying a function that you supply to each item emitted by the source
Publisher that returns a Publisher, and then emitting the items emitted by the most recently emitted
of these Publishers and delays any error until all Publishers terminate.
<p>
The resulting Publisher completes if both the upstream Publisher and the last inner Publisher, if any, complete.
If the upstream Publisher signals an onError, the termination of the last inner Publisher will emit that error as is
or wrapped into a CompositeException along with the other possible errors the former inner Publishers signaled.
