Calling break from a block passed to a ractor will raise an exception. I think some sample code about my example will be helpful:

Let's make a ractor that just calls all blocks passed to it in a loop:

```
r = Ractor.new do 
  block = Ractor.receive
  loop { block.call() }
end
```

Now let's send it a block that raises StopIteration:

```
block = true.instance_eval { proc { raise StopIteration, 3 } } # instance_eval in true gives us a "shareable" proc 
r.send Ractor.make_shareable(block)
r.take # => nil
```

Let's try with a subclass (this works)

```
class MyStop < ::StopIteration
  attr_reader :result
  def initialize(result)
    @result = result
  end
end

block = true.instance_eval { proc { raise MyStop, 3 } }
r.send Ractor.make_shareable(block)
r.take # => 3
```

There was a https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/11498 a while ago which was merged in, but I was surprised to find out that raising `StopIteration` in a loop like

`loop { raise StopIteration.new(3) }`

returns nil and not 3.
