8 months ago Additionally, please note in the "Session Variables" section of https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/2.2.0/IRB.html#module-IRB-label-Commands that IRB also supports __ (double underscore) and __[line_no] when configured to do so. It always supports the single underscore for the last value though.

Yes please open a separate issue in IRB, thank you!
Your proposal
Pry and IRB have a feature in which
_is always set the the value of the last expression. While I realize it may not make sense to do this with debug commands, it would be nice if the feature was there at least for Ruby expressions. The current behavior seems to be setting_to the last error, but seemingly only for debug commands likels. This is kind of a bug in the irb_console since IRB has this feature normally but it stops working after entering debug mode.Additional context
