Having just now stumbled across setting up .irbrc to store IRB history  
– is  
there something similar for the debug module? Such that in between debug  
sessions I can access previous commands issued in the last session?  
(esp.  
handy for setting breakpoints, now that rubygems consumes the first step  
into the script, rather than the current file).
