#backtrace	Returns a backtrace value for `self`; the returned value depends on the form of the stored backtrace value:
#backtrace_locations	Returns a backtrace value for `self`; the returned value depends on the form of the stored backtrace value:
#cause	Returns the previous value of global variable `$!`, which may be `nil` (see `Global Variables`):
#detailed_message	Returns the message string with enhancements:
#exception	Returns an exception object of the same class as `self`; useful for creating a similar exception, but with a different message.
#full_message	Returns an enhanced message string:
#inspect	Returns a string representation of `self`:
#message	Returns `#to_s`.
#set_backtrace	Sets the backtrace value for `self`; returns the given +value:
#to_s	Returns a string representation of `self`:
