Research direction

Start by reading the debugger's command handling and comparing the requested !!! behavior with Pry's fast-forward behavior. Done means a user can enter !!! during a debug session and have subsequent breakpoints continued automatically, with tests covering the command and its effect.

Description

Pry had a feature where you could fast forward all subsequent breaks if you entered !!!. It would essentially automatically continue the subsequent breaks. It would be awesome to to have something like that in debug.
