Hmm, I've seen posts on how to run a script and then have
it stop in irb so you could continue interactively. I don't
know where, just do a google search. It should not be hard
to find.

I've also seen ri added to irb. Of course, you could add a simple
function to .irbrc like this

  def ri(query)
    puts `ri #{query}`
  end

  then just do

  ri "Array.shift"

You may want to search for what has been done with
vim and emacs.
