A custom InputMethod class used by XMP for evaluating string io.
Creates a new StringInputMethod object

def initialize
  super
  @exps = []
end
             
            Whether there are any expressions left in this printer.
 
               # File irb/xmp.rb, line 108
def eof?
  @exps.empty?
end
             
            Reads the next expression from this printer.
See IO#gets for more information.

def gets
  while l = @exps.shift
    next if /^\s+$/ =~ l
    l.concat "\n"
    print @prompt, l
    break
  end
  l
end
             
            Concatenates all expressions in this printer, separated by newlines.
An Encoding::CompatibilityError is raised of the given exps's encoding doesn't match the previous expression evaluated.

      raise Encoding::CompatibilityError, "Encoding in which the passed expression is encoded is not compatible to the preceding's one"
