I'm hoping to port @dcneiner's highly usable implementation of a tooltip with hover intent and hide event canceling when quickly switching between tooltips.

https://github.com/dcneiner/jQuery-Bling/blob/master/js/script.js

I've seen you describe roughly similar functionality [here](http://craigsworks.com/projects/forums/archive/index.php/thread-1931.html) but the important part of Doug's technique was the usability gain in not making users wait for the show delay if they're quickly switching between different tooltips.

I know there's a way to access timers in the qTip2 api (`api.timers`, IIRC) but I've been drawing a blank so far as to how to implement it. Yes, that is probably a sleep deprived brain at work.
