Issue #21451 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze).
This doesn't really explain from a user POV why it can't copy the Proc though, after all `->{}.dup` works fine.
"No allocator" is an internal thing `Ractor.make_shareable` could work around, is there a more fundamental reason why it shouldn't work?
Maybe the correct fix here is to actually support `Ractor.make_shareable(->{}, copy: true)`, as mentioned in #21039?

> ruby -e'Ractor.make_shareable(->{}, copy:true)'
<internal:ractor>:828:in 'Ractor.make_shareable': allocator undefined for Proc (TypeError)
from -e:1:in '<main>'
```
This error isn't very helpful and I think we can improve it. The exception happens when we call `rb_obj_clone` on the lambda.
I've made a patch to improve the error message so it's like this:
```
> ./miniruby -e'Ractor.make_shareable(->{}, copy:true)'
-e:1:in 'Ractor.make_shareable': cannot copy #<Proc:0x000000011f311a80 -e:1 (lambda)> (Ractor::IsolationError)
from -e:1:in '<main>'
-e:1:in 'Ractor.make_shareable': allocator undefined for Proc (TypeError)
from -e:1:in '<main>'
```
