Released a new version of spectra. My favourite new feature is `--infill` which generates expected cases from a program. (here generating for an `uppercase` program). More features and fixes coming soon. Would also like to hear suggestions for the testing tool.

Has anyone written a fork of `Vec` in the Rust standard library which allows for custom length & capacity types. It could reduce memory here by 1/3 given that these vectors are unlikely to have more than 2**32 entries.
