Getting the exit code in a SystemExit rescue block?

[Lloyd Zusman]

Assume that I have the following code:

begin
exit(42)
rescue SystemExit => e
# How do I find out the argument passed to exit() here?
end

Inside of the `rescue' block, is there any way for me to find out the
argument that was passed to exit()? In this example, I'd want to know
that `42' was passed.

Thanks in advance.
