The only suggestion that occurs to me immediately doesn't result in less
work, but more: bite the testKit bullet to test the supervision and refactor to
get rid of the processEvent, switching to handling the event messages directly
in receive(). That gets us to more orthodox Akka usage, but it's probably more
than we want to do in the 0.9.x context. On the other hand, if we put the
testKit infrastructure in place in 1.0, testing our new, minimalist supervisor
actor there could be an adequate warrant for its usage in 0.9.x... maybe.
