a) If you make it a trait – you can mix it in and just call tryNTimes without the object classifier – that's closer still, right?

b) You can still retry and function, by creating a curried function or function pointer and passing that in:

def myFunc(s:String) { println(s) }
def toRetry = myFunc(“Hi!”)
tryNTimes(toRetry, 5)

right? I used this style in some test code I just wrote, where I had a test sequence that applied to several code blocks, some that took params.
