Description
It's unclear in the documentation that the broadcast block only try to deliver the current element to all the receivers. From the formulation BroadcastBlock<T> ensures that the current element is broadcast to any linked targets before allowing the element to be overwritten, I assumed that no messages would be lost which is not the case if the receivers cannot receive the message at the time. Perhaps a clarification could be added here.
