+Deferring Calls
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. versionadded:: 3.19
+
+.. _DEFER:
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+  cmake_language(DEFER <options>... CALL <command> [<arg>...])
+
+Schedules a call to the named ``<command>`` with the given arguments (if any)
+to occur at a later time.  By default, deferred calls are executed as if
+written at the end of the current directory's ``CMakeLists.txt`` file,
+except that they run even after a :command:`return` call.  Variable
+references in arguments are evaluated at the time the deferred call is
+executed.
+
+The options are:
+
+``DIRECTORY <dir>``
+  Schedule the call for the end of the given directory instead of the
+  current directory.  The ``<dir>`` may reference either a source
+  directory or its corresponding binary directory.  Relative paths are
+  treated as relative to the current source directory.
+
+  The given directory must be known to CMake, being either the top-level
+  directory or one added by :command:`add_subdirectory`.  Furthermore,
+  the given directory must not yet be finished processing.  This means
+  it can be the current directory or one of its ancestors.
+
+``ID <id>``
+  Specify an identification for the deferred call.
+  The id may not be empty and may not begin in a capital letter ``A-Z``.
+  The id may begin in a ``_`` only if it was generated by another call
+  that used ``ID_VAR`` to get the id.
+
+``ID_VAR <var>``
+  Sepcify a variable in which to store the identification for the
+  deferred call.  If ``ID <id>`` is not given, a new identification
+  will be generated starting in a ``_``.
+
+The currently scheduled list of deferred calls may be retrieved:
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+  cmake_language(DEFER [DIRECTORY <dir>] GET_CALL_IDS <var>)
+
+This will store in ``<var>`` a :ref:`Semicolon-separated list <CMake Language
+Lists>` of deferred call ids.
+
+Details of a specific call may be retrieved from its id:
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+  cmake_language(DEFER [DIRECTORY <dir>] GET_CALL <id> <var>)
+
+This will store in ``<var>`` a :ref:`Semicolon-separated list <CMake Language
+Lists>` in which the first element is the name of the command to be
+called, and the remaining elements are its unevaluated arguments (any
+contained ``;`` characters are included literally and cannot be distinguished
+from multiple arguments).  If multiple calls are scheduled with the same id,
+this retrieves the first one.  If no call is scheduled with the given id,
+this stores an empty string in the variable.
+
+Deferred calls may be canceled by their id:
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+  cmake_language(DEFER [DIRECTORY <dir>] CANCEL_CALL <id>...)
+
+This cancels all deferred calls matching any of the given ids.
+Unknown ids are silently ignored.
+
+Deferred Call Examples
+""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+For example, the code:
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+  cmake_language(DEFER CALL message "${deferred_message}")
+  cmake_language(DEFER ID_VAR id CALL message "Cancelled Message")
+  cmake_language(DEFER CANCEL_CALL ${id})
+  message("Immediate Message")
+  set(deferred_message "Deferred Message")
+
+prints::
+
+  Immediate Message
+  Deferred Message
+
+The ``Cancelled Message`` is never printed because its command is
+cancelled.  The ``deferred_message`` variable reference is not evaluated
+until the call site, so it can be set after the deferred call is scheduled.
+
+In order to evaluate variable references immediately when scheduling a
+deferred call, wrap it using ``cmake_language(EVAL)``.  However, note that
+arguments will be re-evaluated in the deferred call, though that can be
+avoided by using bracket arguments.  For example:
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+  set(deferred_message "Deferred Message 1")
+  set(re_evaluated [[${deferred_message}]])
+  cmake_language(EVAL CODE "
+    cmake_language(DEFER CALL message [[${deferred_message}]])
+    cmake_language(DEFER CALL message \"${re_evaluated}\")
+  ")
+  message("Immediate Message")
+  set(deferred_message "Deferred Message 2")
+
+also prints::
+
+  Immediate Message
+  Deferred Message 1
+  Deferred Message 2

+^CMake Deprecation Warning at defer_call/CMakeLists.txt:[0-9]+ \(cmake_policy\):
+  The OLD behavior for policy CMP0053 will be removed from a future version

+
+  The cmake-policies\(7\) manual explains that the OLD behaviors of all
+  policies are deprecated and that a policy should be set to OLD only under
+  specific short-term circumstances.  Projects should be ported to the NEW
+  behavior and not rely on setting a policy to OLD.
