Comment on line 44 should say break/bbreak instead of step/sstep

@dkassen, Thanks for the tip. I can't figure out why I needed those blocks. Any idea?

@justin808 break and next seem like standard debugger commands, there might be some other settings that modify or add those commands. I’m guessing pry keeps a registry of commands and renaming them like this seems like it’d override any other definitions. Seems hacky.
