  A tuple describing the backoff strategy for increasing delay between retries.

  The first element of the tuple must be one of the atoms `:exponential` or `:linear`.
  In both cases, the second element of the tuple is an integer representing the initial delay
  between retries, in milliseconds.
  For linear delay, there is also a third element in the tuple, which is a number representing
  the factor that the initial delay will be multiplied by on each successive retry.
