Ah, that's good to know. :)

Not sure what you want there -- Binding.of_caller is already available 
as a library and should be easy to drop in. Change breakpoint() to this 
and it ought to work:

def breakpoint(name = "breakpoint", context = nil)
   return IRB.breakpoint(context, name) if context
   Binding.of_caller do |context|
     IRB.breakpoint(context, name)
   end
end

But maybe I am misunderstanding.
