 This is a good idea, and because it's a good idea it's already implemented 

svg% ruby -e 'Thread.new { a + 1 }'
svg% 

svg% ruby -de 'Thread.new { a + 1 }'
Exception `NameError' at -e:1 - undefined local variable or method `a' for main:Object
-e:1: undefined local variable or method `a' for main:Object (NameError)
        from -e:1:in `initialize'
        from -e:1:in `new'
        from -e:1
svg%
