How does max_attempts interface with ActiveJob retry_on method? #210

The ActiveJob retry_on hook allows you to customize how you respond to specific errors, but it's unclear how that integrates with max_attempts in this gem. Does this gem keep a separate queue and ignore ActiveJob behavior, or is max_attempts just setting a global retry_on to catch all errors?

(sorry I made this issue on the main repo and then realized this would be a better place)

retry_on bypasses delayed_job. ActiveJob enqueues a new job and makes the original job look successful to DJ.
