Synchronize ...

Hi Kevin

Samuel and I are making a lot of changes to the Rx Scala API see ReactiveX/RxJava#562, so you may want to join that effort such that you optimize your efforts.

Thanks.

Right now I've got some fairly sweeping changes I want to explore, with a view to pushing ideas back into RxJava at a later point in time - depending on how they work out.

Including (but not limited to):

• Integration with Akka and ExecutionContexts
• Future-backed Asynchronous Observables
• API Modularization (especially for Observable)
• Moving operations to native Scala instead of wrapping Java code

I'm finding the use of overloaded constructors makes interop difficult, which is a big driving force towards a scala-native reimplementation (which may well be contentious). I can also see that a dependency on Akka might be unwanted for some people.
