[MacRuby-devel] macirb or not working with awesome_print

I didn't know about awesome_print, and it's kind of blown my mind.  The default irb formatting is great.  Only, I cannot get it to work in macirb.  It looks like the internals of IRB is completely different.

Has anyone had an luck with this?
