 * An invocation of a Retrofit method that sends a request to a webserver and returns a response.

 * calls with the same parameters to the same webserver; this may be used to implement polling or to
 * retry a failed call.
 *
 * Calls may be executed synchronously with {@link #execute}, or asynchronously with {@link
 * #enqueue}. In either case the call can be canceled at any time with {@link #cancel}. A call that
