I dislike both, but without having a better idea (sorry :D). Here's why: UsageError is dangerously close to UsageError. It's also not clear from the name why they differ. InternalError sounds like the exceptions prefixed with INTERNALERROR>, (i.e. unhandled exceptions inside pytest), which seems like the exact opposite of what this is. Maybe we should rename UsageError to CliUsageError, or make sure UsageError is usable for this purpose?
