Observable.from('string') browser compatibility

[kwonoj]

Observable.from can take string and iterate it as

Rx.Observable.from('foo').subscribe(console.log);
// => Next: f
// => Next: o
// => Next: o
// => Completed

but fails to do it on some browsers does not support string iterator (IE, for example)

in RxJS4, seems it has own iterator for string object (https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/RxJS/blob/master/src/core/linq/observable/from.js#L3-L23) to support this behavior - does RxJS5 need to port same behavior?

I've used https://jsfiddle.net/v0w220v6/ to test out between different browsers.

related to #998 .

I believe some of the infrastructure for this is already in place. So there might be a bug.

I assume it's StringIteratror in IteratorObservable, will try to look into what's happening. Marking this as bug meanwhile.
