Redefinition of class method new is an outdated style, and internal exceptions should not be affected by it.

Currently, exception in eval shows the followings:

$ ruby -e 'eval("raise")'
-e:1:in `eval': (eval):1:in `<main>' (RuntimeError)
    from -e:1:in `eval'
    from -e:1:in `<main>'

I don't see a reason "`eval'" is prepended.
