Delay

.delay (Publishers.Delay) inserts a pause between the time a value is received from upstream and the time it is passed on downstream. The parameters are:

for:
The length of the delay. You can write an expression such as .seconds(1), .milliseconds(100), and so forth; if you supply an Int or Double literal, it will be taken to mean seconds.
tolerance:
The permitted tolerance. It has the same type as for:. Optional; you’ll usually omit it.
scheduler:
The queue or runloop on which the delay will be measured. You’ll supply a DispatchQueue, an OperationQueue, or a RunLoop; the usual value is DispatchQueue.main.
options:
Optional. You’ll usually omit it.
