<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.
