Subject: [ruby-talk:17281] Inheritance


Hello!

I need to define four classes ( do not ask why but I really need it
:(((:

	class MyException < Exception
	end

	class NotADivisionByZero < MyException
	end

	class IntDivisionByZero < MyException
	end

	class FloatDivisionByZero < MyException
	end

And then I'd like Ruby treat the latter two classes as ancestors of
ZeroDivisionError. At least in "rescue" clauses.

	begin
	   raise IntDivisionByZero, "an integer was divided by zero"
	rescue ZeroDivisionError
	    print "ok\r\n"
	end

Would print "ok".

Any suggestions?
