When debugging Ruby, it'd be great to be able to jump into an IRB / console like window to poke and prod things.  When hitting a breakpoint, the debugger 
console would let you type in and evaluate any valid Ruby expression at that point in the stack.  You can do this with more primitive tools like Ruby's built in 
command line debugger, or vi/emacs, and it's really handy.  Of course you can get similar functionality via watches, but a console would be great.
