/**
 * Creates a debounced function that delays invoking the provided function
 * until after 'wait' milliseconds have elapsed since the last time it was
 * invoked.
 *
 * I could use _.debounce(), but bringing dependency on lodash didn't feel
 * justified yet.
 *
 * @param func The function to debounce
 * @param wait The number of milliseconds to delay execution
 * @returns A debounced version of the provided function
