My ruby-debug extension is doing precisely that. It keeps track of bindings
along the program execution and allows fast stepping. Basically it's a
standard debug.rb library with a small native extension which uses  new
Ruby  C API  calls rb_add_event_hook/rb_remove_event_hook to keep track of
method execution and to check for breakpoints.
