Usage
To start IRB with WIRB activated for one session, do:

To activate WIRB permanently, you'll need to add this to the ~/.irbrc
file:
require 'wirb'
Wirb.start
Bundled Schemas
These are the bundled color schemas. You can load one with Wirb.load_schema
:name
:classic

(only uses :bright, :underline and :inverse effect)
Kernel#wp
You can use WIRB like awesome_print to highlight any objects using wp
:
require 'wirb/wp'
wp some_object
