Feature #19137: Numbered parameters are not made available to IRB.

Hello !

It does not look like numbered parameters are available through the Binding that's used by IRB.

# repl.rb
[1,2,3].each do 
  binding.irb
end

$ irb repl.rb                   
irb(main):001:0> puts _1
repl.rb:1:in `block in <top (required)>': undefined local variable or method `_1' for main:Object (NameError)

Is it possible for them to be available ? Thanks!
