It depends on a bug in Ruby (but that can be fixed as soon as that bug 
is fixed) and will only work 100% correctly if you are using it in a 
method that is called in the same context as its caller. For example 
breakpoint() is OK, but Breakpoint.breakpoint() will not give you the 
correct instance variables.

I don't think it is too slow. Not being able to restore previous trace 
funcs is another downside, however.

Perhaps it is time to write a C extension for this after all?
