```
public static Properties immutable(String name,
                                   String value)
```
    Transforms a single name value pair unto a read only Properties instance.
    Example Usage:
    
    Properties readOnly = immutable("oneKey","oneValue"}; assert readOnly.getProperty("oneKey") != null);
    Parameters:
    
    name - the property key.
    
    value - the property value.
    
    Returns:
    
    Read Only properties instance.
