Subject: What does IRB's "=>" show?

I don't quite understand what irb's "=>" is showing.  In particular, I'd like to 
know how to change it.

Currently I get:

>> p = X**2 - 1
=> #<Math::Polynomial::Poly:0x1a4c48 @coeffs=[-1, 0, 1]>

And I'd rather it produce something like:

>> p = X**2 - 1
=> X**2 - 1

Or better yet:

>> p = X**2 - 1
=>
   2    
  X  - 1
>>

Is this possible?
