Subject: save session in irb

Hello!

Okay, I know this one is a little bit strange, but...

Is there a way to save an irb session meaning that a
Ruby app will pop up irb, the user will execute some 
commands and exit irb and in the lifetime of the Ruby
app will have the chance to start irb again and continue
from where he/she left?

To decode the above :-), what I am trying to do is to emulate 
the PyRun_InteractiveLoop() of the Python C API via Ruby's
C API.

I can use system() and friends to start irb via C, but the
session is lost every time the user exits which, of course,
is normal.

Any wild hints? :-)
