+* `store` {any}
+
+Calling `asyncLocalStorage.enterWith(store)` will transition into the context
+for the remainder of the current synchronous execution and will persist
+through any following asynchronous calls.
+
+Example:
+
+```js
+const store = { id: 1 };
+asyncLocalStorage.enterWith(store);
+asyncLocalStorage.getStore(); // Returns the store object
+someAsyncOperation(() => {
+  asyncLocalStorage.getStore(); // Returns the same object
+});
+```
+
+This transition will continue for the _entire_ synchronous execution.
+This means that if, for example, the context is entered within an event
+handler subsequent event handlers will also run within that context unless
+specifically bound to another context with an `AsyncResource`.
+
+```js
+const store = { id: 1 };
+
+emitter.on('my-event', () => {
+  asyncLocalStorage.enterWith(store);
+});
+emitter.on('my-event', () => {
+  asyncLocalStorage.getStore(); // Returns the same object
+});
+
+asyncLocalStorage.getStore(); // Returns undefined
+emitter.emit('my-event');
+asyncLocalStorage.getStore(); // Returns the same object
+```
