/// +[RACScheduler currentScheduler] (so that they're deferred, not sent
/// immediately), or they can be sent in the background. The RACDisposable
/// returned by the `didSubscribe` block should cancel any such scheduling or
/// asynchronous work.
///
/// didSubscribe - Called when the signal is subscribed to. The new subscriber is
///                passed in. You can then manually control the <RACSubscriber> by
