Prompt
Write a JavaScript async function `retry(fn, options)` that calls the async function `fn` and retries it on rejection with exponential backoff. - `options.retries` (default 3) is the number of *additional* attempts after the first, so the total number of calls is at most `retries + 1`. - `options.baseDelay` (default 100, ms) — wait `baseDelay * 2 ** attempt` before each retry (attempt index starting at 0). - Resolve with `fn`'s value on the first success. If every attempt rejects, throw the last error. Put it in a single JavaScript code block and `module.exports = retry` (or `{ retry }`).
