Sequence manipulation and filtering

Manipulation and filtering of sequence messages helps in the development of complex messaging designs. The most immediate and widely used operator is Where, which creates a routing sequence of messages already filtered based on its filtering predicate. We have already seen some of the manipulating or filtering factory methods in the previous chapter, such as the Take, Skip, Distinct, and DistinctUntilChanged methods.
