+     * <p/>
+     * By default, when a Single encounters an error that prevents it from emitting the expected item to
+     * its {@link Observer}, the Single invokes its Observer's {@code onError} method, and then quits
+     * without invoking any more of its Observer's methods. The {@code onErrorResumeNext} method changes this
+     * behavior. If you pass another Single ({@code resumeSingleInCaseOfError}) to an Single's
+     * {@code onErrorResumeNext} method, if the original Single encounters an error, instead of invoking its
+     * Observer's {@code onError} method, it will instead relinquish control to {@code resumeSingleInCaseOfError} which
+     * will invoke the Observer's {@link Observer#onNext onNext} method if it is able to do so. In such a case,
+     * because no Single necessarily invokes {@code onError}, the Observer may never know that an error
+     * happened.
+     * <p/>
+     * You can use this to prevent errors from propagating or to supply fallback data should errors be
+     * encountered.

+     * @return the original Single, with appropriately modified behavior.
