I have decided to rather fix this within a larger API rewrite that will come sooner or later. Right now, the API is of limited use anyway since snakemake is not thread safe.

While catching everything and presenting a user friendly message is useful at CLI level (i.e.
snakemake.main), API consumers callingsnakemake.snakemake()are likely to want to deal with exceptions themselves.
