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