// Package pubsub implements a pub-sub model with a single publisher (Server)
// and multiple subscribers (clients).
//
// Though you can have multiple publishers by sharing a pointer to a server or
// by giving the same channel to each publisher and publishing messages from
// that channel (fan-in).
//
// Clients subscribe for messages, which could be of any type, using a query.
// When some message is published, we match it with all queries. If there is a
// match, this message will be pushed to all clients, subscribed to that query.
// See query subpackage for our implementation.
