Description
If $DEBUG is turned on, I always see this line:
Exception 'NoMethodError' at /home/user/.rubies/ruby-4.0.1/lib/ruby/4.0.0/pp.rb:82 - undefined method 'winsize' for an instance of String
It would be nice if pp could avoid that exception entirely, because it's confusing when searching the output for errors while debugging other code.

Research direction
Inspect pp.rb:82 and reproduce the warning with $DEBUG enabled, focusing on the winsize call reported on the String instance. Done means pp no longer emits this NoMethodError while $DEBUG is enabled; check the repository's existing tests for a suitable regression case.
