  /**
   *  Generates an observable sequence by running a state-driven loop producing the sequence's elements, using the specified scheduler to send out observer messages.
   *
   * @example
   *  var res = Rx.Observable.generate(0, function (x) { return x < 10; }, function (x) { return x + 1; }, function (x) { return x; });
   *  var res = Rx.Observable.generate(0, function (x) { return x < 10; }, function (x) { return x + 1; }, function (x) { return x; }, Rx.Scheduler.timeout);
   * @param {Mixed} initialState Initial state.
   * @param {Function} condition Condition to terminate generation (upon returning false).
   * @param {Function} iterate Iteration step function.
   * @param {Function} resultSelector Selector function for results produced in the sequence.
   * @param {Scheduler} [scheduler] Scheduler on which to run the generator loop. If not provided, defaults to Scheduler.currentThread.
   * @returns {Observable} The generated sequence.
