 I've not understood

moulon% cat b.rb
#!/usr/bin/ruby

class MyError < RuntimeError
   attr_reader :info

   def initialize(info)
      @info = info
   end

end

begin
   raise MyError, "this is an error message"
rescue
  p $!.info
end
moulon% 

moulon% ./b.rb
"this is an error message"
moulon% 

 #initialize is called ???
