     * @description Creates an [EventStream]{@link Bacon.EventStream} with the given [subscribe]{@link Bacon.fromBinder~subscribe} function. The parameter `subscribe` is a function that accepts a [sink]{@link Bacon.fromBinder~sink} which is a function that your `subscribe` function can "push" events to. You can push: a plain value, like `"first value"`; an [Event]{@link Bacon.Event} object including [Error]{@link Bacon.Error} (wraps an error) and [End]{@link Bacon.End} (indicates stream end); an array of event objects at once. The `subscribe` function must return a function. Let's call that function [unsubscribe]{@link Bacon.fromBinder~unsubscribe}. The returned function can be used by the subscriber (directly or indirectly) to unsubscribe from the EventStream. It should release all resources that the `subscribe` function reserved. The `sink` function may return [noMore]{@link Bacon.noMore} (as well as [more]{@link Bacon.more} or any other value). If it returns `noMore`, no further events will be consumed by the subscriber. The `subscribe` function may choose to clean up all resources at this point (e.g., by calling `unsubscribe`). This is usually not necessary, because further calls to `sink` are ignored, but doing so can increase performance in rare cases. The EventStream will wrap your `subscribe` function so that it will only be called when the first stream listener is added, and the `unsubscribe` function is called only after the last listener has been removed. The subscribe-unsubscribe cycle may of course be repeated indefinitely, so prepare for multiple calls to the `subscribe` function.

     * @class Error
     * @augments Bacon.Event
     * @description An error event. Call [Event.isError]{@link Bacon.Event#isError} to distinguish these events in your subscriber, or use [onError]{@link Bacon.Observable#onError} to react to error events only. [Error.error]{@link Bacon.Error#error} returns the associated error object (usually string). [Error]{@link Bacon.Error} events are always passed through all stream combinators. So, even if you filter all values out, the error events will pass through. If you use [Observable.flatMap]{@link Bacon.Observable#flatMap}, the result stream will contain Error events from the source as well as all the spawned stream. You can take action on errors by using the [Observable.onError]{@link Bacon.Observable#onError}. See documentation on [Observable.onError]{@link Bacon.Observable#onError}, [EventStream.mapError]{@link Bacon.EventStream#mapError}, [Property.mapError]{@link Bacon.Property#mapError}, [EventStream.errors]{@link Bacon.EventStream#errors}, [Property.errors]{@link Bacon.Property#errors}, [EventStream.skipErrors]{@link Bacon.EventStream#skipErrors}, [Property.skipErrors]{@link Bacon.Property#skipErrors}, [Bacon.retry]{@link Bacon.retry} and [Observable.flatMapError]{@link Bacon.Observable#flatMapError}. An Error does not terminate the stream. The methods [EventStream.endOnError]{@link Bacon.EventStream#endOnError} and [EventStream.endOnError]{@link Bacon.EventStream#endOnError}  returns a stream/property that ends immediately after first error. Bacon.js doesn't currently generate any Error events itself (except when converting errors using [Bacon.fromPromise]{@link Bacon.fromPromise}). Error events definitely would be generated by streams derived from IO sources such as AJAX calls.
     * @example
     * // In case you want to convert (some) value events into Error events, you may use `flatMap` like this:
     * Bacon.fromArray([1, 2, 3, 4]).flatMap<number>(x => {
   *   NOTE: had to explicitly specify the `<number>` typing for `flatMap`.
   *   return x > 2 ? new Bacon.Error("too big") : x;
   * });
     *
     * // Conversely, if you want to convert some Error events into value events, you may use `flatMapError`:
     * Bacon.fromArray([1, 2, 3, 4]).flatMapError(error => {
   *   let isNonCriticalError = error => Math.random() < .5,
   *     handleNonCriticalError = error => 42;
   *   return isNonCriticalError(error) ? handleNonCriticalError(error) : new Bacon.Error(error);
   * });
     *
     * // Note also that Bacon.js combinators do not catch errors that are thrown. Especially `map` doesn't do so. If you want to map things and wrap caught errors into Error events, you can do the following:
     * Bacon.fromArray([1, 2, 3, 4]).flatMap(x => {
   *   let dangerousFunction = x => {
   *     throw new Error("dangerous function!");
   *   };
   *   try {
   *     return dangerousFunction(x);
   *   } catch (e) {
   *     return new Bacon.Error(e);
   *   }
   * });
