+ * An example of extension functions on the objects returned by `AutoDispose.with`.
+ *
+ * AutoDispose returns proxy objects that don't extend Observable or the other reactive classes. This means
+ * that extensions like RxKotlin's `Observable.subscribeBy` can't be used. However, it's easy to define your
+ * own.
+ *
+ * These extension functions can be called in the following manner:
+ * 
+ * ```
+ * Observable.just(1)
+ *   .autoDisposeWith(this)
+ *   .subscribeBy(onError = { Log.e(it) })
+ * ```
