Exceptions when trying to YAML.dump, YAML.load exception when using better_errors

[justin808]

I'm working on code that uses rails attribute serializers, and exception objects are serialized.

[7] (pry) main: 0> begin
[7] (pry) main: 0*   raise RuntimeError.new("something")
[7] (pry) main: 0* rescue => ex
[7] (pry) main: 0*   exx = ex
[7] (pry) main: 0* end
#<RuntimeError: something>
[8] (pry) main: 0> exx
#<RuntimeError: something>
[9] (pry) main: 0> exx.message
"something"
[11] (pry) main: 0> dddd = YAML.dump(exx)

[12] (pry) main: 0> YAML.load(dddd)
TypeError: allocator undefined for Binding

A possible workaround before serializing:

    if ex.instance_variable_get(:@__better_errors_bindings_stack)
      ex.remove_instance_variable(:@__better_errors_bindings_stack)
    end

Just to add a data point, I'm running into this exact issue. I'm simply working around dumping the entire exception, but I'm curious if this library intends to support dumping/loading of the exception.
