  Sessions with aliases are treated as daemons within the current
! program (servlets?).  They are kept alive even without other things to
! do on the assumption that some other session will need their services.
  
! Daemonized sessions may spontaneously self-destruct if no other
! sessions are active.  This prevents "zombie" servlets from keeping a
! program running with nothing to do.

  Sessions with aliases are treated as daemons within the current
! program.  They are kept alive even without other things to do.  It's
! assumed that they will receive events from some other session.
  
! Aliases are passive work.  A session with just an alias to keep it
! alive can't do anything if there isn't some other active session
! around to send it messages.  POE knows this, and it will gladly kill
! off aliased sessions if everything has become idle.  This prevents
! "zombie" sessions from keeping an otherwise dead program running.
