IRB leaking out Reline changes globally

[szymonj99]

Description

Calling to IRB.start results in IRB leaking out Reline changes globally.

Minimal Reproducible Example

require 'reline'
require 'irb'

::Reline.autocompletion = false

line = ::Reline.readline('PROMPT >> ', false)

IRB.start

line = ::Reline.readline('PROMPT >> ', false)

Current Workaround

I'm unsure if there's any other potential settings being changed. Here's what I have so far:

config = { autocompletion: Reline.autocompletion, core: Reline.core.dup }
IRB.start
Reline.autocompletion = config[:autocompletion]
Reline.instance_variable_set(:@core, @current_config[:core])

Expected Behaviour

I would expect that changes to Reline performed by IRB do not persist after quitting out of the IRB session. My Reline changes and settings should remain what the were before and after.
