[ruby-core:108184] [Ruby master Bug#18682] doc: raise also accepts instances

Issue #18682 has been updated by mame (Yusuke Endoh).

Status changed from Open to Closed

I think it is the case of "another object that returns an Exception object hen sent an exception message".
In other words, `raise RuntimeError.new("foo")` raises `RuntimeError.new("foo").exception`, which is `#<RuntimeError: foo>`.

```
RuntimeError.new("foo").exception #=> #<RuntimeError: foo>
```

I have no idea why and how this spec is designed :-)

I close this ticket, but a suggestion for English improvement is welcome.

* Author: akim2 (Akim Demaille)

* Priority: Normal

https://ruby-doc.org/core-3.1.1/Kernel.html#method-i-raise says

```
Otherwise, the first parameter should be an Exception class (or another object that returns an Exception object when sent an exception message).
```

Well, it can also be an instance of Exception, not just a class.

PS/ I've had to create a new account to create this issue, because I could not find how to get the 2FA code I needed to use my older account.  I can recreate a new password (which I did not need), but I cannot get back the 2FA configuration.
