Marble diagram improvements

[samuelgruetter]

Many thanks @DavidMGross for all these nice marble diagrams, they're awesome!

Here are some suggestions for improvements:

• interval: starts at 0, not at 1
• flatMap/mapMany: make clear that there's an underlying merge (currently it looks as if the items of observable i+1 were only emitted once observable i has completed)
• where/filter: it might be nicer if the predicate was a shape
• scan: also show that if frequency of source observable is lower than sampling frequency, elements are repeated
• zip: it looks like this operator can fetch elements from the future ;-)
• Make the diagrams open source

Thanks for the feedback! I'll make the adjustments you suggest.

The diagrams are already open-source:

they're in a proprietary format (http://www.omnigroup.com/omnigraffle)

Could you clarify what you meant about "scan" and its sampling frequency?
Did you mean "sample" or one of the "throttle"s?

oh yes I meant "sample", not "scan"

Thank you @DavidMGross for fixing these in #527
