Comment (by simonpj):

 Yes, it's horrible that these seven (''seven''!) levels of severity are
 declared in a data type with no comment whatsoever to indicate what the
 author had in mind.  One can guess from the names but it still seems like
 a huge omission.  I have no opinion about `fatal` vs `error` for
 `SevFatal`.  I'm inclined to the former, since it reflects the underlying
 truth.
