Hey,

I just noticed that ruby-debug breaks everything on ruby 1.9.3-p0. It's kinda a [known issue](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7054948/ruby-debug19-on-ruby-1-9-3-preview1), and the best way out of it, IMO, would be switching to [Pry](http://pry.github.com/).

It has quite impressive set of features and abilities. It even can serve at least two purposes:

* it can replace standard rails console with kind of better console
* it can be used for debugging the way ruby-debug is used

Want to hear what do you guys think about that. Keeping compatibility with 1.9.3 should be important for you, because rails 4 will support only 1.9.3 and higher; plus 1.9.3 is just little faster.
