 Review comment:
   Hm, I'm still confused: in your version, you capture `retry` and `delay` in 
the lambdas by value, so their modifications are lost:
   
   ```
     return loop(
         // NOTE: copy `delay` by value in the first lambda function.
         [=]() mutable {
           auto timeout = process::after(delay);
           delay *= 2;
           return timeout;
         },
         // NOTE: copy `retry` by value in the second lambda function.
         [=](const Nothing&) mutable -> Future<ControlFlow<Nothing>> {
   [...]
           } else if ((errno == EBUSY) && (retry > 0)) {
             --retry;
             return process::Continue();
   ```
   
   I think that with this, `delay` and `retry` will *not* be updated from one 
iteration to the next: so basically we will keep retrying the `rmdir` every ms 
forever.
