I've used this same trick myself several times to be able to debug
eval'd code. A library for it is nice. Let me make a suggestion, tho.
You ought to name the method something other than eval, since your new
implementation (unavoidably) changes the semantics of a
well-established and much used builtin method. How about
debuggable_eval? Some kind of switch to have it fall back to the plain
vanilla eval for production mode might be nice too.
