English: $ERROR_INFO doesn't refer to the last error that was raised

[deepj]

This construct is used in dry-monads specs https://github.com/dry-rb/dry-monads/blob/master/spec/unit/try_spec.rb#L14

$ERROR_INFO is alias of $!

TruffleRuby 1.0.0 RC15

require 'English'
division_error = 1 / 0 rescue $ERROR_INFO
# => nil

MRI 2.6.2

require 'English'
division_error = 1 / 0 rescue $ERROR_INFO
# => #<ZeroDivisionError: divided by 0>

I thought this might relate to #1560 but apparently not:

$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'English'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> division_error = 1 / 0 rescue $ERROR_INFO
=> nil
irb(main):003:0> division_error = 1 / 0 rescue $!
=> #<ZeroDivisionError: divided by 0>

Probably, the $ERROR_INFO alias doesn't work because $! is thread-local, but I need to investigate.
Thanks for the report.
