A comment in Param.get_param_name (used for ValidationError, ConversionError, RequirementError, and OverlapError exceptions) says:
Normally errors should use cli_name, our "friendly" name. When using the API directly or *attr return the real name.
However, in most cases the server just returns cli_name every time.
I believe translating internal option names to cli_name this should be done entirely on the client side.
(But keeping the status quo would need some additions too: short of searching through the list of options, there's no mechanism to get cli_name by internal option name outside of validators, e.g. when validating in pre_callback because LDAP is needed.
I believe this is to keep consistent error messages between the CLI and the UI.
