+Flattens a stream of Source into a single output stream by merging.

+## Description
+
+Flattens a stream of `Source` into a single output stream by merging, where at most breadth substreams are being consumed 
+at any given time. This function is equivalent to `flatMapMerge(breadth, identity)`.
+Emits when a currently consumed substream has an element available
+
+## Reactive Streams semantics
+
+@@@div { .callout }
+
+**emits** when one of the currently consumed substreams has an element available
+
+**backpressures** when downstream backpressures or the max number of substreams is reached
+
+**completes** when upstream completes and all consumed substreams complete
