[ruby-core:124522] [Ruby Feature#21822] Expose Return Value in the ensure Block

[nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) via ruby-core]

Issue #21822 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada).


Is the variable `nil` if an exception is raised, even for non-local variable?
By analogy with `rescue`, it feels natural for me that the variable is unchanged in that case.

----------------------------------------

I'd like to propose a simple feature that allows easy access to the return value inside an ensure block.

```ruby
begin 
   # ...
ensure => ret
   # ret is nil if an exception is raised
   LOGGER.debug "return value: #{ret}"
end
```

I don't think it's not worth for the new syntax, where you can do similar thing with:

```
begin
  ret = begin
    # ....
  end
ensure
  LOGGER.debug "return value: #{ret}"
end
```

For me, ensure => ret looks cleaner, reduces cognitive overhead, and is simply easier on the eyes when reviewing real code.

The structure is easier to parse visually, and the intent is clearer compared to the alternatives.

Also, it doesn’t break any existing behavior — it’s purely additive, just a small but useful extension that makes the code more elegant and pleasant to read.
