/**
 * hoverIntent is similar to jQuery's built-in "hover" method except that
 * instead of firing the handlerIn function immediately, hoverIntent checks
 * to see if the user's mouse has slowed down (beneath the sensitivity
 * threshold) before firing the event. The handlerOut function is only
 * called after a matching handlerIn.

 * means you are free to use hoverIntent as long as this header is left intact.
