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.
