What's the "require chain"?  And how exactly can I provide it?  I'll
certainly do it if I knew how.

More generally, and for the other responders: what are the recommended
short-term and long-term solutions for this problem?

I understand the long-term solution is to file a bug in the Rails
project and ask the maintainers to add a dependency for the
ruby-breakpoint gem instead of bundling ruby-breakpoint with Rails.
That dependency makes sense since ruby-breakpoint is integrated with
Rails (it's the standard way to debug Rails applications, used by
script/breakpointer).

In the short-term, is the best solution to simply get ruby-breakpoint
not through gems?  Or is there a way to fix this issue while still
using the convenient gem version?
