+-- | Reschedule a job (among other things)
+--
+-- This function can be used to __safely__ change the following three values of a job:
+--
+--   * Job's status (so, you can use it to pre-maturely cancel a job)
+--   * Job's attempts (so, you can use it to reduce the number of attempts, thus effectively
+--      /increasing/ the number of times the job will be attempted)
+--   * Job's run-at (so, you can use it to /prepone/ or /postpone/ a job, especially useful
+--      if your job is a result of some user-action, and you want to implement a /debounce/ 
+--      logic)
+--
+-- In case the job is currently locked, or not found, this returns a 'RescheduleError' instead.
