I am trying to rescue from a `require': no such file to load in ruby in order
to hint the user at specifying the -I flag in case he has forgotten to do so.
Basically the code looks like:
begin
require 'someFile.rb'
rescue
puts "someFile.rb was not found, have you"
puts "forgotten to specify the -I flag?"
exit
end
I have expected the rescue part to take over execution in case someFile.rb was not found, but my assumption was wrong.
