Yes indeed and it is not possible with standart ruby at the moment.

But if you want it, then download ArachnoRuby from http://www.ruby-ide.com.

It just does what you want and it also automatically starts a post mortem
debugger when an unhandled exception terminats the program. So it is
easy to inspect the values.
