Subject: [ruby-core:69641] [Ruby trunk - Feature #10881]	NoMethodError#receiever

Issue #10881 has been updated by Yuki Nishijima.


Thanks Matsumoto-san.

I realized that the last line in the example above is wrong, it has to use `#equal?` instead of `#==`:

```
exception.receiver.equal?(receiver) # => true
```

Feature #10881: NoMethodError#receiever
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/10881#change-52994

----------------------------------------
I would like `NoMethodError` to have `receiver` method:

```
receiver    = "receiver"
exception = receiver.doesnt_exist rescue $!

exception.receiver == receiver # => true
```

This helps did_you_mean gem implement its features without having native C exceptions, and also makes it easier to add "did you mean?" feature to irb. Let mw know what you think. Thanks!
