The fatal error and assert macros are for developer use, completely internally
to the ns-3 codebase.  Why are you concerned with API breakage here?  I'd be
surpised if a "user" even knew these macros existed.

It would however be some sed work to change things.

+1 to Craig's suggestion, for inclusion in ns-3.3
