'lift(final Operator<? extends R, ? super T>)' has private access in 'rx.Single'

[passsy]

I was expecting Single#lift() to be part of the public API like Observable#lift(). Is there a reason for this restriction?

Single#compose() is public, too (and links to #lift() in the docs). I guess the private access is just a bug.

https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxJava/blob/1.x/src/main/java/rx/Single.java#L176

My workaround:

Single.just("value")
        .toObservable()
        .lift(myOperator)
        .toSingle();

Single is in experimental phase, its API is not stable and there wasn't enough confidence to open up many of the methods, including lift.

I think the time has come to expose Single.lift(). PRs welcome.
