Rerun Cucumber step only in case of specific failure

Running Cucumber in CircleCI with Selenium sometimes the tests fail due to CircleCI's performance. A common failure is a Net::ReadTimeout error, which never seems to happen locally. I want to rescue the steps from that error and try them again, but I do not want to rerun all failed tests.

I could put build a rescue into the specific step(s) that seem to trigger this error, but ideally I would be able to provide Cucumber a list of errors that it rescues once or twice, to rerun that step, before finally letting the error pass through.

Something like:

# support/env.rb
Cucumber.retry_errors = {
  # error => number of retries
  "Net::ReadTimeoutError" => 2
}

Does anything like that exist?
