+### Robust queries
 
 The RethinkDB connection is generally stored as a singleton. Over time, this connection can lose its connection to the server. Both the CE and functions have `withRetryDefault`, which will retry a failed command up to 3 times (4 counting the initial try), waiting 200ms, 500ms, and 1 second between the respective attempts. There are other options as well; `withRetryOnce` will retry one time immediately. `withRetry` takes a list of `float`s, which will be interpreted as seconds to delay between each retry; it will retry until it has exhausted the delays.
 
 The examples above both use the default retry logic.

-Within the CE, there are a few differing names, mostly notably at the start (selecting databases and tables); this is to allow for a more natural language flow. Its names may change in the 0.8.x series; it is the most alpha part of the project at this point. Also, while CEs now support overloading (thank you F# 6 developers!), they do not detect if the first value in the tupled arguments is different. This is most noticeable once `result*` or `write*` commands have been issued; these support `Task<'T>`, `Async<'T>`, and synchronous `'T` operations, but the follow-on commands will be different (e.x. `withRetryDefault` (tasks) vs. `withAsyncRetryDefault` vs. `withSyncRetryDefault`). There are also versions of these that support optional arguments (for all) and cancellation tokens (for task/async).

 The functions show this pattern throughout, as functions in a module do not support overloading; an example for `filter` is below.
