Is drag-and-drop possible in watir-webdriver?

I would like to drag-and-drop one element to the position of another, triggered from within a watir-webdriver script.

By "drag-and-drop" I mean picking up a draggable element and releasing it on another. By "possible" I mean any method for drag/drop that can be executed from a watir-webdriver script. This includes code snippets, third party gems, etc.

As I understand it drag-and-drop is a feature request for core watir-webdriver (at time of asking), so I'm looking (in principle) for an alternative.

UPDATE drag-and-drop is now part of core watir-webdriver (as of 0.5.0, I believe)

UPDATE 2 For those seeking enlightenment, this is now possible (as of version 0.5.0):

a = browser.div(:id => "draggable")
b = browser.div(:id => "droppable")

a.drag_and_drop_on b

and

a = browser.div(:id => "draggable")

a.drag_and_drop_by 100, -200

      assert_exists
      driver.action.drag_and_drop(@element, other.wd).perform
    end
  end
end

profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
profile.native_events = true

b = Watir::Browser.new :firefox, :profile => profile
b.goto "http://jqueryui.com/demos/droppable/default.html"

b.element(:id => "draggable").drag_and_drop_on(b.element(:id => "droppable"))
