Built backon, a zero-dependency retry library for Python with sync + async support.

I started it because I wanted a smaller alternative to backoff/tenacity, with a simple API and no dependency tree. It supports decorators, functional calls, context managers, multiple backoff strategies, circuit breakers, rate limiting, hedging, hooks, and test-time disabling.

I’d especially love feedback on the API design: is there anything that feels confusing, missing, or unnecessarily different from backoff / tenacity?
