can be considered as 

  pages.each do |page|

and

  begin
    pages.each do |page|
      begin
        page.links.each do |link|
          process link

        @bad_links << link
      end

  rescue MalformedPageError
    @bad_pages << page
  end

If it contains ensure, things are more complicated.  Perhaps you would
expect

   foo do
      break
   ensure
      puts "foo"
   end

would print "foo" even when foo does not give control to the block.
