Not sure if that is what you meant, but here is already "FATAL" which is indeed an alias of CRITICAL:

Maybe it should just go the other way around, making critical an alias for fatal, and switching them around in the docs? No code will be invalidated but it will encourage people to use the simpler, more direct term.
