Misc #11584: Kernel::loop silently catching StopIteration, should be documented

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: -

[rovf (Ronald Fischer)]

The method Kernel::loop implicitly catches a StopIteration exception. This fact is documented on the documentation page for StopIteration, but it should also (and more importantly) be documented with the Kernel::loop method, because if one doesn't know this detail, the behaviour can be pretty surprising - see for example http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33040260/combining-raise-and-throw/.
