+            delayable = self.env["res.users"].browse(10).delayable(priority=20)
+            delayable.do_work(name="test"}).delay()
+
+        In this example, the ``do_work`` method will not be executed directly.
+        It will be executed in an asynchronous job.
+
+        Method calls on a Delayable generally return themselves, so calls can
+        be chained together::
+
+            delayable.set(priority=15).do_work(name="test"}).delay()
+
+        The order of the calls that build the job is not relevant, beside
+        the call to ``delay()`` that must happen at the very end. This is
+        equivalent to the example above::
+
+            delayable.do_work(name="test"}).set(priority=15).delay()
+
+        Very importantly, ``delay()`` must be called on the top-most parent
+        of a chain of jobs, so if you have this::
+
+            job1 = record1.delayable().do_work()
+            job2 = record2.delayable().do_work()
+            job1.on_done(job2)
+
+        The ``delay()`` call must be made on ``job1``, otherwise ``job2`` will
+        be delayed, but ``job1`` will never be. When done on ``job1``, the
+        ``delay()`` call will traverse the graph of jobs and delay all of
+        them::
+
+            job1.delay()
+
+        For more details on the graph dependencies, read the documentation of

+
+        This patch method has to be called in ``_register_hook`` (example
+        below).
+
+        When a method is patched, any call to the method will not directly
+        execute the method's body, but will instead enqueue a job.
+
+        When a ``context_key`` is set when calling ``_patch_job_auto_delay``,
+        the patched method is automatically delayed only when this key is
+        ``True`` in the caller's context. It is advised to patch the method
+        with a ``context_key``, because making the automatic delay *in any
+        case* can produce nasty and unexpected side effects (e.g. another
+        module calls the method and expects it to be computed before doing
+        something else, expecting a result, ...).
+
+        A typical use case is when a method in a module we don't control is
+        called synchronously in the middle of another method, and we'd like all
+        the calls to this method become asynchronous.
+
+        The options of the job usually passed to ``with_delay()`` (priority,
+        description, identity_key, ...) can be returned in a dictionary by a
+        method named after the name of the method suffixed by ``_job_options``
+        which takes the same parameters as the initial method.
+
+        It is still possible to force synchronous execution of the method by
+        setting a key ``_job_force_sync`` to True in the environment context.
+
+        Example patching the "foo" method to be automatically delayed as job
+        (the job options method is optional):
+
+        .. code-block:: python
+
+            # original method:
