Output from retry -h is fine.

Output from man -P cat 1 retry includes:

               ~$ retry --until=success -- false
               retry: 'false' returned 1, backing off for 10 seconds and trying again...
               retry: 'false' returned 1, backing off for 10 seconds and trying again...
               retry: 'false' returned 1, backing off for 10 seconds and trying again...

   ^C

– and:

               ~$ retry --until=success --delay "1,2,4,8,16,32,64" -- false
               retry: false returned 1, backing off for 1 second and trying again...
               retry: false returned 1, backing off for 2 seconds and trying again...
               retry: false returned 1, backing off for 4 seconds and trying again...
               retry: false returned 1, backing off for 8 seconds and trying again...
               retry: false returned 1, backing off for 16 seconds and trying again...
               retry: false returned 1, backing off for 32 seconds and trying again...
               retry: false returned 1, backing off for 64 seconds and trying again...
               retry: false returned 1, backing off for 64 seconds and trying again...
               retry: false returned 1, backing off for 64 seconds and trying again...

   ^C

Easily fixable? If not, I should treat it as negligible.

Other very minor nits: line spacing, as shown in this rendering:

man -P cat 1 retry.txt

Thanks
