Description

After upgrading to ruby 2.7.6 our IRB got broken, copy and pasting a long string was slow, if you need to paste a multiline test in a middle of a string that also didn't work. We had to upgrade the IRB gem to 1.5.0, now it always automatically formats the output, which I don't need.

Now the output looks like this, which is quite annoying. Previously, when I needed a formatted output I was able to use pp. Can't find a way to disable this with Heroku also.
