So this fixes it:

module Wrapper
  include GLI::App

  extend self

  exit run ARGV
end

This boxes the CLI into a wrapper class and lets pry load normally.

The scaffold no longer makes apps with GLI in the global namespace, so closing (I think #278 fixed this so thanks @dblock!)

Is there anyone downside to wrapping the include GLI::App inside a module so pry can work though?
