I want to write a simple debug method in Ruby for my Rails app:
foo = "bar"
debug(foo)
The debug method would return the string "foo: bar".
How do you get the name of the object (foo, in this case) in Ruby?
Working in Ruby 1.92.
Thanks.
As usual with Ruby, there’s a gem for that:

It will output to stdout.
