 no, no : this is a difference 1.4 and 1.6. Since 1.6 you can write

   def aa
      # any lines
   rescue XXX
      # any lines
   rescue YYY
      # any lines
   # ...
   else
      # any lines
   ensure
      # any lines
   end

 this is only with 1.6.3 that it work also with singleton methods.

 Single line statements are

   xxx rescue yyy

 which is like

   begin
      xxx
   rescue
      yyy
   end
