retry - combinators for monadic actions that may fail

About

Monadic action combinators that add delayed-retry functionality, potentially with exponential-backoff, to arbitrary actions.

The main purpose of this package is to make it easy to work reliably with IO and similar actions that often fail. Common examples are database queries and large file uploads.

Thanks to John Wiegley and Michael Snoyman for their contributions:

• Now using monad-control instead of MonadCatchIO, which is widely agreed to be broken.
• Now using transformers instead of mtl, which was a broader than needed dependency.
