Can Schedule be used to do the following:
Do a job forever, but with an exponential backoff limited to 5min, which gets reset, when the job succeeds.

Something like:
```val schedule = Schedule.exponential(x.milliseconds).or(Schedule.spaced(5.minutes))

while (true) {
  schedule.retry { myTask() }
}```
Should work.
How does this work?
Well the magic here is the `or`  combinator which combines two schedules, continues when one of them continue and takes the smaller delay of the two. So when the first schedule exceeds 5 mins delay it will take the second and as both are infinite they run forever.
You can also manually make the first schedule fail with `doWhileOutput { it &lt; 5.minutes.inNanoseconds }` (the output of the `exponential` schedule is it's current delay at each iteration) so we can stop it by applying this condition, but because `or` uses the smaller delay anyway this is not necessary.
Also the reset is simply another iteration on the while loop, which just throws away the schedule state.
`Schedule` can do even more complex things quite trivially, but it can be a bit hard to understand at first, so feel free to ask about how stuff works :)

Thank you for the excelent explenation :)
