Subject: Can a program be made to drop into irb?

I'd like to be able to write a program that, halfway through
execution, stops what it's doing and opens an irb session with the
current state.  This would be an excellent tool for debugging.

Does anyone know if it's possible?  My instinct says it's probably
not.  If that's the case, I'd like to if some modification to Ruby
could make it possible, to feed into a potential RCR.

Cheers,
Gavin
