`binding.irb` can fail in some classes that implement `context` and `print` methods.

Description

class Foo
  def boop
    binding.irb
  end
  
  def context
  end
  
  def print
  end
end

Foo.new.boop

It fails with:

> ruby ./test.rb

From: ./test.rb @ line 3 :

    1: class Foo
    2:   def boop
 => 3:     binding.irb
    4:   end
    5:   
    6: 	def context
    7: 	end
    8:

	from <internal:prelude>:5:in `irb'

	from ./test.rb:13:in `<main>'

I suggest that binding.irb should be a little bit less invasive to avoid these kinds of issues.
