TLC Transients — On the fly WordPress transients with soft expiration and one-liner chained syntax.
@aaroncampbell — expires_in()
takes a seconds input, FYI. :-) I like the retry_in()
idea.
@markjaquith - Yeah, my examples were bad...in my plugin I'm using it right though :-)

@markjaquith - Yep, that's exactly what I did.
@prettyboymp - I suppose WP_Error would the "WordPress way". I feel like WP_Error is sort of the poor mans Exceptions because we weren't able to use Exceptions. I can see your point though, especially in the cases where you can do something like use wp_remote_request() directly with updates_with(). It means some errors are handled automatically by WordPress. However, not having your own function between the two means you can't handle things like empty (but successful) responses, invalid JSON or XML, etc.
As for a timeout for failed attempts, I suppose that would make sense but should probably be different from the expires_in, so you could set expires_in(30)->retry_in(5) to make it retry 5 minutes after a failed update and 30 minutes after a successful one.
