+ (description "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.")
