 * Buffers the source Observable values until the size hits the maximum

 * <img src="./img/bufferCount.png" width="100%">
 *
 * Buffers a number of values from the source Observable by `bufferSize` then
 * emits the buffer and clears it, and starts a new buffer each
 * `startBufferEvery` values. If `startBufferEvery` is not provided or is
 * `null`, then new buffers are started immediately at the start of the source
 * and when each buffer closes and is emitted.
 *
 * @example <caption>Emit the last two click events as an array</caption>
 * var clicks = Rx.Observable.fromEvent(document, 'click');
 * var buffered = clicks.bufferCount(2);
 * buffered.subscribe(x => console.log(x));
 *
 * @example <caption>On every click, emit the last two click events as an array</caption>
 * var clicks = Rx.Observable.fromEvent(document, 'click');
 * var buffered = clicks.bufferCount(2, 1);
 * buffered.subscribe(x => console.log(x));

 *
 * @param {number} bufferSize The maximum size of the buffer emitted.
 * @param {number} [startBufferEvery] Interval at which to start a new buffer.
 * For example if `startBufferEvery` is `2`, then a new buffer will be started
 * on every other value from the source. A new buffer is started at the
 * beginning of the source by default.
 * @return {Observable<T[]>} An Observable of arrays of buffered values.
