 - accept a `timeout` option and abort when timeout is reached
 - accept a `retry` option and retry the request when it throws
 - accept a `retryDelay` option to wait before retrying. it can be a function.
+  further retries can be cancelled as well!
 - add `Accept` header with value `application/json, text/plain, */*` if not
   already set by you
 - set global headers when creating the wrapper
