According to its docstring, it's for cases where the user does something
wrong. Calling a command on the wrong buffer, providing invalid input,
things like that.

We also have a few instances where it's used to abort commands when the
user answers "No" to a query. I'm not 100% sure those instances qualify,
but it's certainly way better than throwing actual errors.
