Rename

= Pre-Defined Global Variables

Some of the pre-defined global variables have synonyms
that are available via module English.
For each of those, the \English synonym is given.

To use the module:

require 'English'

== Exceptions

=== <tt>$!</tt> (\Exception)

Contains the Exception object set by Kernel#raise:

begin
    raise RuntimeError.new('Boo!')
  rescue RuntimeError
    p $!
  end

Output:

#<RuntimeError: Boo!>

English - <tt>$ERROR_INFO</tt>

=== <tt>$@</tt> (Backtrace)

Same as <tt>$!.backtrace</tt>;
returns an array of backtrace positions:

begin
    raise RuntimeError.new('Boo!')
  rescue RuntimeError
    pp $@.take(4)
  end

Output:

["(irb):338:in `<top (required)>'",
   "/snap/ruby/317/lib/ruby/3.2.0/irb/workspace.rb:119:in `eval'",
   "/snap/ruby/317/lib/ruby/3.2.0/irb/workspace.rb:119:in `evaluate'",
   "/snap/ruby/317/lib/ruby/3.2.0/irb/context.rb:502:in `evaluate'"]

English - <tt>$ERROR_POSITION</tt>.

successful match in the current scope.
