Very cool. Thank you! I did notice that the docs for `Fatal` are somewhat off when they say that overridable built-ins can be modified through this module. In fact `Fatal` can handle only those overridable built-ins `foo` such that `prototype('foo')` is defined; there are overridable built-ins for which this is not the case, and therefore will cause `Fatal` to fail at compile time.
