do a task, try again if it fails, backing-off with a customisable algorithm, and returning a promise.
```sh
npm install try-to --save
```
A simple example, illustrating all of the main API features.
```js
'use strict';
const tryto = require('try-to');
tryto(function() {
// Do stuff, throw on failure, or return result...
// Can return a promise, which will be waited on
}) .every(100) // start retrying at 100ms intervals
.for(20) // max 20 retries
.using(tryto.exponential) // exponential back-off
.config({ max: 1e6 }) // cap it to 1,000s retries
.now() // start trying immediately
.then(result => {
// Function got ran!
}, err => {
// Function didn't successfully run
});
```
