/**
 * A helper class for defining reliable static duration variables that are safe at
 * shutdown. It's also useful as a greppable identifier to emphasize, track, and
 * allowlist such objects across the codebase. This is a way to make an object that
 * never dies and isn't allocated. T need not be destructible, as it is never destroyed.
 *
 * Notice that in every example, there's a `static` storage class specifier on the
 * defined variable. This is very important.
 *
 * The `StaticImmortal<T>` contains raw memory suitable for storing a `T`, and has a trivial
 * destructor. No action is taken at shutdown time, so the on-board `T` remains undestroyed.
 *
 * Initialization syntax examples:
 *   static StaticImmortal<Map> m{};
 *   static auto m = StaticImmortal<Map>();
 *
 *   // Explicitly specified `T`. Curly braces cannot be collapsed here.
 *   static StaticImmortal<Map> m{{{"hello", 123}, {"bye", 456}}};
 *   static StaticImmortal<Map> m = {{{"hello", 123}, {"bye", 456}}};
 *
 *   // `T` can also be deduced from the initializing value:
 *   static StaticImmortal m = Map{{"hello", 123}, {"bye", 456}};
 *   static StaticImmortal m = [] { return Map{{"hello", 123}, {"bye", 456}}; }();
 *
 *   // As with `optional<T>`, dereference operators `->` and `*` yield a reference to `T`.
 *   auto iter = m->find("hello");
 *   functionTakingAMapReference(*m);
