[BUG] Can not step into subsequent calls on the same line of code (only the call which is evaluated first by Ruby)

Describe the bug

Given code such as:

foo(bar.to_h)

it is not apparently possible to step into the foo call. When Jard stops on this line, Step will step into the #to_h call. Unlike something like byebug, Step Out does not take me back to the foo(bar.to_h) line but appears to step up/out past it or perhaps just steps over it (it's hard to tell).

To Reproduce

  1. Enter jard before a method call that contains arguments which need evaluation via a method call. For instance:
    image

  2. F7 will take you to the first evaluated method call (request.referrer or request, depending on whether request is a local var or a method)
    image
    image

  3. Shift+F7 will take you to line after the initial break point (or a frame higher, if the breakpoint was the last line.
    image

Expected behavior

There should be someway step into redirect_to (and any other calls on that break point). For instance, byebug (and pry-byebug) you could do step, up, step, up, step and you would be inside redirect_to. It's clumsy, but it works.

Ideally, jard would underline the call which it would next step into, but admittedly that may be impossible to do reliably. However, it would look something like:

redirect_to(r͟e͟q͟u͟e͟s͟t͟.referrer || request.fullpath)
redirect_to(request.r͟e͟f͟e͟r͟r͟e͟r͟ || request.fullpath)
redirect_to(request.referrer || r͟e͟q͟u͟e͟s͟t͟.fullpath) # in the case where `request.referrer` is `nil`
redirect_to(request.referrer || request.f͟u͟l͟l͟p͟a͟t͟h͟) # in the case where `request.referrer` is `nil`
r͟e͟d͟i͟r͟e͟c͟t͟_͟t͟o͟(request.referrer || request.fullpath)

I am pretty confident this is not possible without some pretty advanced static analysis, but it does at least illustrate the steps that are expected to be able to be taken manually.
