Hi Vladimir.

I did not say it's a regression (at least I think so :) ). But I've just
started to use jirb and debugger console very often, so it started to be
bigger problem for me. It's often the case that I switch back to irb (if
interpreter-independent) just because of history, even if I'm already
running 'jirb' in one terminal. Maybe I'm just too used to the history
and alike feature from bash and others 'readline-tools'. So might have
different priority for other users. Personal taste.
