But surely it's doing *exactly* what it's documented to do.
If you want to change what "ALL" means, what do you propose that the name is
for "compilation *and* runtime" fatality?
I can see that runtime-only fatality has a use.
Likewise, I suspect that compile-time only fatality has a use
("I can watch to see if my server starts OK, but once it's running, I'd
prefer it not to bomb out when it might recover")
I think a better proposal is to have two new things akin to "ALL", one for
runtime, one for compile time, and a way to select either independently
(with ALL continuing to mean what it always did)
