exc_exception(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self)

    VALUE exc;

    argc = rb_check_arity(argc, 0, 1);

With no argument, or if the argument is the same as the receiver, return the receiver. Otherwise, create a new exception object of the same class as the receiver, but with a message equal to string.to_str.
