I am pleased to announce the first release of the "immortal" package.

Such a behavior is often desired when writing servers, so I decided to release a package that does exactly that.

This is excellent! I've written this myself a few times now and it's always fiddly. Thank you. I'll almost certainly use this, after a bit of review.
