This is useful. Don't want to think about how many times I have implemented retrying in shell scripts. I appreciate the extensive documentation, but I would suggest adding the output of `attempt --help` to the README / docs, so that features can be discovered at a glance.

Thank you for the suggestion. It's a reasonable one. I'm undecided. The --help output is pretty long, I don't want to put so much information in the README that it damages it's legibility. But you're right that the documentation is maybe too dense for easy discovery. I'll add it to the docs shortly, but for the README I'm going to keep thinking about it for now.
