But fatal "Logs a fatal severity message. Fatal log messages terminate the  
application after the message is persisted. Fatal log message cannot be  
disable at compile time or at run time." The point is that he want to log  
a fatal message and then terminate in a custom manner. I don't see a  
problem with convince functions that log and error and then throw, but not  
having the option to not throw is an unnecessary limitation.
