Hoverintent for Prototype / Scriptaculous

Recently came across the HoverIntent plugin for jQuery. It acts like a regular mouseover or hover observer, but waits to fire the action until/if the mouse slows down or rests. With tuning, it makes for interfaces that feel more human responsive.

The website I'd like to use it on is committed to a Prototype / Scriptaculous framework, and I'd very much like to not add jQuery to the mix.

Is there an equivalent way of achieving this behavior in Prototype / Scriptaculous, either natively or with an additional script?
