```ruby
class Foo
  def boop
    binding.irb
  end
  
	def context
	end
	
  def print
  end
end

Foo.new.boop
```

It fails with:

```
> ruby ./test.rb

From: ./test.rb @ line 3 :

    1: class Foo
    2:   def boop
 => 3:     binding.irb
    4:   end
    5:   
    6: 	def context
    7: 	end
    8: 	

./test.rb:9:in `print': wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 0) (ArgumentError)

	from /Users/samuel/.gem/ruby/3.0.3/gems/irb-1.3.7/lib/irb.rb:959:in `irb'
	from <internal:prelude>:5:in `irb'
	from ./test.rb:3:in `boop'
	from ./test.rb:13:in `<main>'
```

I suggest that `binding.irb` should be a little bit less invasive to avoid these kinds of issues.
