My Arachno Ruby IDE will have this feature in it's 0.4 version. But it
is already available in the default ruby console debugger. You can simply
evaluate all statements and even redefine methods by cut&paste from your editor
after a breakpoint is hit.

We already had a longer discussion here if it is possible and good to
write an environment that acts more like a Lisp/Smalltalk image. But
i'm still not sure if this is the right way for a language like Ruby.
