Whereever possible, I've tried to encourage people to adopt a single consistent style - note that most (all?) of our error messages in clang, LLD and various tools like llvm-readobj and llvm-objdump use lower-case and no trailing full stop. report_fatal_error calls should be no different.
> > > @jhenderson, I agree that a single consistent style would be great. I note that the Coding Standards do not document this style. It is also unfortunate that this style is not consistent, in respect to the capitalization of the first word, with the examples in the Coding Standards for strings in `assert` and `llvm_unreachable`. If you find consensus to update the Coding Standards to document this style, it would probably help to improve the consistency in the project.
> > Please stop capitalizing and stop using a trailing full stop. For the common infrastructure of LLVMObject and binary utilities where James and several other contributors spending a lot of time on, we have made lots of efforts improving the diagnostics and their consistency. As a relatively new user of these infrastructure, it'd be much appreciated if XCOFF could follow suite. I hope this XCOFF development in Object won't be sort of code dump.

I believe that this is the first patch for which we were told about this convention. No one had said we were not changing this after James indicated that he believes it to be an important point. I find the insinuation that a "code dump" is being attempted to be rather extreme.
