Had we but world enough and time.

Well, the answer is not much. Nothing is added from araneida-testing
to aaraneida-testing. Only a few small tweaks from araneida-testing to
araneida-slim2.

The idea is that araneida-slime + aaraneida = araneida-testing.

Some sunny day the release will be araneida and aaraneida. I hope to
clean up araneida even more, and get some better internals documentation.
If you want everything just like you have it now, use both.

It's mostly just a cleanup - it really DOES make it easier to maintain.
araneida-slim2 is much smaller than araneida-testing, and easier
to wrap your skull around. aaraneida then logically comes out as
tools on top of araneida-slim2.
