Add support for visualizing reactive streams in a remote app #6

This would probably involve splitting rxvision into an "interceptor" module and a "visualizer" module, and adding a user-settable "transport" function/object to the visualizer.

Then, the user can implement whatever transport they need between the two, allowing you to visualize events in e.g. a Node.js app. The transport could default to just directly consuming from a local interceptor, in order to support the current use case.

yeah, that sounds like a cool idea. As the code currently stands, that's totally possible.

Include rxvision.js, and you get the "tracer". If you also include viz.js, then you also get the visualization too.

You can see here how the viz tool listens to the tracer. It would be simple to add a listener that shoves events onto a websocket or something
