<div>
<div><br></div>
<div>This function was introduced along others to halt execution of
the running instance to convey a state of affairs without
resolution whatsoever. This proposal lays the case that this
function is not performing its stated mission and attempts to help
it come forward with its real intentions in order to have a
better conformance with the Swift naming guidelines.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><font size="4"><b>Motivation</b></font></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The main motivation to this proposal is to act as a catalyst
for the community to acknowledge the identity of this function and
stay true to the values bestowed upon us by Chris Lattner and his
disciples, the Core Team.</div>
</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>As evidenced in a quick search over a the great repository
of <a href="https://github.com/search?l=Swift&q=fatalError%28%29&type=Code&utf8=%E2%9C%93">Gitxandria</a>
we are witness to several examples of the true calling of
fatalError(). A few examples are cited below for those who receive
this letter in print.</div>
