+This class works just like LWP::UserAgent (and is based on it, by being a
+subclass of it), except that when you use it to get a web page but run into a
+possibly-temporary error (like a DNS lookup timeout), it'll wait a few seconds
+and retry a few times.
+
+It also adds some methods for controlling exactly what errors are considered
+retry-worthy and how many times to wait and for how many seconds, but normally
+you needn't bother about these, as the default settings are relatively sane.
