Subject: Why must LoadError be explicitly caught from require()

Why do I explicitly have to catch LoadError as thrown by 'require'?

The following code demonstrates my problem:
------------------------------------------
begin
 require 'not_existent'
rescue
 print 'I am never reached'
#rescue LoadError
# print "But uncommenting these lines allows me to handle it"
end
------------------------------------------

I am running 1.8.4 on Windows.
