/// Creates a signal which observes `KEYPATH` on `TARGET` for changes.
///
/// In either case, the observation continues until `TARGET` _or self_ is
/// deallocated. If any intermediate object is deallocated instead, it will be
/// assumed to have been set to nil.
///
/// Make sure to `@strongify(self)` when using this macro within a block! The
/// macro will _always_ reference `self`, which can silently introduce a retain
/// cycle within a block. As a result, you should make sure that `self` is a weak
/// reference (e.g., created by `@weakify` and `@strongify`) before the
/// expression that uses `RACObserve`.
///
/// Examples
///
///    // Observes self, and doesn't stop until self is deallocated.
///    RACSignal *selfSignal = RACObserve(self, arrayController.items);
///
///    // Observes the array controller, and stops when self _or_ the array
///    // controller is deallocated.
///    RACSignal *arrayControllerSignal = RACObserve(self.arrayController, items);
///
///    // Observes obj.arrayController, and stops when self _or_ the array
///    // controller is deallocated.
///    RACSignal *signal2 = RACObserve(obj.arrayController, items);
///
///    @weakify(self);
///    RACSignal *signal3 = [anotherSignal flattenMap:^(NSArrayController *arrayController) {
///        // Avoids a retain cycle because of RACObserve implicitly referencing
///        // self.
///        @strongify(self);
///        return RACObserve(arrayController, items);
///    }];
///
/// Returns a signal which sends the current value of the key path on
/// subscription, then sends the new value every time it changes, and sends
/// completed if self or observer is deallocated.
