Description
IRB currently prints most of its output to STDOUT by calling puts directly. This means changing the output target is very difficult (e.g. print to a socket instead, which ruby/debug supports).

Research direction
Start by locating IRB's direct puts calls and reviewing how its output is currently sent to STDOUT. The change is complete when output can use a configurable target, including a socket as needed by ruby/debug, without arbitrary direct puts calls.
