-module Breakpoint
-  extend self
-
-  # This will pop up an interactive ruby session at a
-  # pre-defined break point in a Ruby application. In
-  # this session you can examine the environment of
-  # the break point.
-  #
-  # You can get a list of variables in the context using
-  # local_variables via +local_variables+. You can then
-  # examine their values by typing their names.
-  #
-  # You can have a look at the call stack via +caller+.
-  #
-  # The source code around the location where the breakpoint
-  # was executed can be examined via +source_lines+. Its
-  # argument specifies how much lines of context to display.
-  # The default amount of context is 5 lines. Note that
-  # the call to +source_lines+ can raise an exception when
-  # it isn't able to read in the source code.
-  #
-  # breakpoints can also return a value. They will execute
-  # a supplied block for getting a default return value.
-  # A custom value can be returned from the session by doing
-  # +throw(:debug_return, value)+.
-  #
-  # You can also give names to break points which will be
-  # used in the message that is displayed upon execution 
-  # of them.
-  #
-  # Here's a sample of how breakpoints should be placed:
-  #
-  #   class Person
-  #     def initialize(name, age)
-  #       @name, @age = name, age
-  #       breakpoint("Person#initialize")
-  #     end
-  #
-  #     attr_reader :age
-  #     def name
-  #       breakpoint("Person#name") { @name }
-  #     end
-  #   end
-  #
-  #   person = Person.new("Random Person", 23)
-  #   puts "Name: #{person.name}"
-  #
-  # And here is a sample debug session:
-  #
-  #   Executing break point "Person#initialize" at file.rb:4 in `initialize'
-  #   irb(#<Person:0x292fbe8>):001:0> local_variables
-  #   => ["name", "age", "_", "__"]
-  #   irb(#<Person:0x292fbe8>):002:0> [name, age]
-  #   => ["Random Person", 23]
-  #   irb(#<Person:0x292fbe8>):003:0> [@name, @age]
-  #   => ["Random Person", 23]
-  #   irb(#<Person:0x292fbe8>):004:0> self
-  #   => #<Person:0x292fbe8 @age=23, @name="Random Person">
-  #   irb(#<Person:0x292fbe8>):005:0> @age += 1; self
-  #   => #<Person:0x292fbe8 @age=24, @name="Random Person">
-  #   irb(#<Person:0x292fbe8>):006:0> exit
-  #   Executing break point "Person#name" at file.rb:9 in `name'
-  #   irb(#<Person:0x292fbe8>):001:0> throw(:debug_return, "Overriden name")
-  #   Name: Overriden name
-  #
-  # Breakpoint sessions will automatically have a few
-  # convenience methods available. See Breakpoint::CommandBundle
-  # for a list of them.
-  #
-  # Breakpoints can also be used remotely over sockets.
-  # This is implemented by running part of the IRB session

-  # Will run Breakpoint in DRb mode. This will spawn a server

-  # whenever a breakpoint is executed. This is useful when you
-  # are debugging CGI applications or other applications where
-  # you can't access debug sessions via the standard input and
-  # output of your application.
-  #
-  # You can specify an URI where the DRb server will run at.
-  # This way you can specify the port the server runs on. The
-  # default URI is druby://localhost:42531.
-  #
-  # Please note that breakpoints will be skipped silently in
-  # case the DRb server can not spawned. (This can happen if
-  # the port is already used by another instance of your
-  # application on CGI or another application.)
-  #
-  # Also note that by default this will only allow access
-  # from localhost. You can however specify a list of
-  # allowed hosts or nil (to allow access from everywhere).
-  # But that will still not protect you from somebody
-  # reading the data as it goes through the net.
-  #
-  # A good approach for getting security and remote access
-  # is setting up an SSH tunnel between the DRb service
-  # and the client. This is usually done like this:
-  #
-  # $ ssh -L20000:127.0.0.1:20000 -R10000:127.0.0.1:10000 example.com
-  # (This will connect port 20000 at the client side to port
-  # 20000 at the server side, and port 10000 at the server
-  # side to port 10000 at the client side.)
-  #
-  # After that do this on the server side: (the code being debugged)
-  # Breakpoint.activate_drb("druby://127.0.0.1:20000", "localhost")
-  #
-  # And at the client side:
-  # ruby breakpoint_client.rb -c druby://127.0.0.1:10000 -s druby://127.0.0.1:20000
-  #
-  # Running through such a SSH proxy will also let you use 
-  # breakpoint.rb in case you are behind a firewall.

-  # available at http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?DrbTutorial

+  #
+  # You can specify an URI where the DRb server will run at.
+  # This way you can specify the port the server runs on. The
+  # default URI is druby://localhost:42531.
+  #
+  # Please note that breakpoints will be skipped silently in
+  # case the DRb server can not spawned. (This can happen if
+  # the port is already used by another instance of your
+  # application on CGI or another application.)
+  #
+  # Also note that by default this will only allow access
+  # from localhost. You can however specify a list of

+  # But that will still not protect you from somebody
+  # reading the data as it goes through the net.
+  #
+  # A good approach for getting security and remote access
+  # is setting up an SSH tunnel between the DRb service
+  # and the client. This is usually done like this:
+  #
+  # $ ssh -L20000:127.0.0.1:20000 -R10000:127.0.0.1:10000 example.com
+  # (This will connect port 20000 at the client side to port
+  # 20000 at the server side, and port 10000 at the server
+  # side to port 10000 at the client side.)
+  #
+  # After that do this on the server side: (the code being debugged)
+  # Breakpoint.activate_drb("druby://127.0.0.1:20000", "localhost")
+  #
+  # And at the client side:
+  # ruby breakpoint_client.rb -c druby://127.0.0.1:10000 -s druby://127.0.0.1:20000
+  #
+  # Running through such a SSH proxy will also let you use 
+  # breakpoint.rb in case you are behind a firewall.
