📄 Description

In an attempt to remove morally questionable terms from the library, all references to ‘master’ and ‘slave’ have been replaced with ‘queen’ and ‘drone’.

I like these terms, but as I haven’t seen them in wide usage, I figure it’s important for others to weigh in. I find them more interesting and colorful than ‘primary’ and ‘secondary’, which would be another, more bland, option possibly more clear due to their general usage.
