Interface to produce synchronously "one signal" to an underlying Subscriber. 
 At most one next call and/or one complete() or error(Throwable) should be called per invocation of the generator function. 
 Calling a SynchronousSink outside of a generator consumer or function, e.g. using an async callback, is forbidden. You can FluxSink or MonoSink based generators for these situations. 
Type parameters:
