Comment (by k-bx):

 One more thing to consider. Current severities are:

 {{{
 data Severity
   = SevOutput
   | SevDump
   | SevInteractive
   | SevInfo
   | SevWarning
   | SevError
   | SevFatal
 }}}

 For severity `SevFatal`, would it make sense to output `fatal: <msg>`,
 stick to `error: <msg>`, or just keep it as it is right now?
