<longdescription>

|
This package exposes combinators that can wrap arbitrary
|
|
monadic actions. They run the action and potentially retry
|
|
running it with some configurable delay for a configurable
|
|
number of times.
|
|
The purpose is to make it easier to work with IO and
|
|
especially network IO actions that often experience temporary
|
|
failure and warrant retrying of the original action. For
|
|
example, a database query may time out for a while, in which
|
|
case we should hang back for a bit and retry the query instead
|
|
of simply raising an exception.
