/-- Given two thresholds `p < q`, the sets `{x | v.limRatio ρ x < p}`
and `{x | q < v.limRatio ρ x}` are obviously disjoint. The key to proving that `v.limRatio ρ` is
almost everywhere measurable is to show that these sets have measurable supersets which are also
disjoint, up to zero measure. This is the content of this lemma. -/

    ∃ a b, MeasurableSet a ∧ MeasurableSet b ∧

  /- Here is a rough sketch, assuming that the measure is finite and the limit is well defined
    everywhere. Let `u := {x | v.limRatio ρ x < p}` and `w := {x | q < v.limRatio ρ x}`. They
    have measurable supersets `u'` and `w'` of the same measure. We will show that these satisfy
    the conclusion of the theorem, i.e., `μ (u' ∩ w') = 0`. For this, note that
    `ρ (u' ∩ w') = ρ (u ∩ w')` (as `w'` is measurable, see `measure_toMeasurable_add_inter_left`).
    The latter set is included in the set where the limit of the ratios is `< p`, and therefore
    its measure is `≤ p * μ (u ∩ w')`. Using the same trick in the other direction gives that this
    is `p * μ (u' ∩ w')`. We have shown that `ρ (u' ∩ w') ≤ p * μ (u' ∩ w')`. Arguing in the same
    way but using the `w` part gives `q * μ (u' ∩ w') ≤ ρ (u' ∩ w')`. If `μ (u' ∩ w')` were nonzero,
    this would be a contradiction as `p < q`.

    For the rigorous proof, we need to work on a part of the space where the measure is finite
    (provided by `spanningSets (ρ + μ)`) and to restrict to the set where the limit is well defined
    (called `s` below, of full measure). Otherwise, the argument goes through.
