I've been digging into this feature now that 2.1 is released, and I'm a
little confused. In the final implementation, can #cause only be set from
$!? None of the other methods for setting the cause discussed in this
thread seem to work, and for that matter I don't see any changes to the
#raise or Exception#initialize methods to support explicitly setting a
cause.
