I've seen it used to retry a failing operation a certain number of times:
5.times do
return true if do_network_call
sleep 5
end
raise NetworkCallFailedError
Of course, that requires you to be able to return out of the surrounding
function from the `times` loop, which you can do in Ruby but not in Swift.
