// 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.
//
// Example:
//
//     q, err := query.New("account.name='John'")
//     if err != nil {
//         return err
//     }
//     ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 1 * time.Second)
//     defer cancel()
//     subscription, err := pubsub.Subscribe(ctx, "johns-transactions", q)
//     if err != nil {
//         return err
//     }
//
//     for {
//         select {
//         case msg <- subscription.Out():
//             // handle msg.Data() and msg.Tags()
//         case <-subscription.Cancelled():
//             return subscription.Err()
//         }
//     }
