Subject: [ruby-core:105715] [Ruby master Feature#18083] Capture error in ensure block.

Issue #18083 has been updated by ko1 (Koichi Sasada).


Sorry, my proposal is introducing dynamic scope, not syntactical scope like:

```
def foo
  p $! #=> A
  begin
    # no raise
  ensure
    p $! #=> nil
  end
end

begin
  raise A
ensure
  foo
end
```

We can implement `raise` like method:

```ruby
def my_raise
  # DO SOMETHING
  raise $!
end
```

Feature #18083: Capture error in ensure block.

----------------------------------------
As discussed in https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15567 there are some tricky edge cases.

As a general model, something like the following would be incredibly useful:

``` ruby
begin
 ...
ensure => error
  pp "error occurred" if error
end
```

Currently you can get similar behaviour like this:

``` ruby
begin
  ...
rescue Exception => error
  raise
ensure
  pp "error occurred" if error
end
```

The limitation of this approach is it only works if you don't need any other `rescue` clause. Otherwise, it may not work as expected or require extra care. Also, Rubocop will complain about it.

Using `$!` can be buggy if you call some method from `rescue` or `ensure` clause, since it would be set already. It was discussed extensively in https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15567 if you want more details.
