ipython-like behaviour for editing methods/classes

[v0dro]

In ipython it is possible to paste an entire method into the console and go up/down and edit the method as per your needs, and then load the method into the interpreter. Pressing 'up' also shows the entire method that was written rather than individual lines of the method.

Having this functionality would be huge boon for quickly testing code within the console.

Pry provides the edit command, so you can edit methods in your editor.

Making it work like in ipython sounds tremendously useful, too.

BTW, this has been discussed years ago. Here's some context:

• Multiline history #76
• pry history is shown line by line and not by function or class #959

I suspect this issue may be closed when #2063 is completed. Adding to the milestone, so I don't forget about it.
