Feature #10881: NoMethodError#receiever

I would like NoMethodError to have receiver method:

receiver    = "receiver"
exception = receiver.doesnt_exist rescue $!

exception.receiver == receiver # => true

This helps did_you_mean gem implement its features without having native C exceptions, and also makes it easier to add "did you mean?" feature to irb. Let mw know what you think. Thanks!

Looks OK for me. I am interested in how JRuby/Rubinius guys feel about the proposal.

Thanks Matsumoto-san.

I realized that the last line in the example above is wrong, it has to use #equal? instead of #==:

exception.receiver.equal?(receiver) # => true
