Thank you SO much!

One small inconvenience that I have with this library is that it takes
some typing to set a breakpoint.

Say I have a util.rb file that is included more or less everywhere in my
app, and I would like to include there something like this:

def bp
  require 'breakpoint'
  breakpoint
end

so that setting a breakpoint would be simply 'bp'

This doesn't work, of course, because it opens irb in a wrong stack
frame (within bp method).

Any Ruby black magic to somehow inline it in the right stack frame?
