This is going to be so useful! I had a few suggestions while reading this in passing—let me know if you agree with them, and I'd be happy to send a PR.

Reading this I assumed it had to be a private method, but the implementation tells me it doesn't. What do you think about removing the mention of private here and making the method public in the empty override case (see next suggestion) so both are covered?

No method ever have to be private. e.g. method_missing is supposed to be private, but nothing will break if it isn't.

This supports the new `instance_variables_to_inspect` method from Ruby core that was added in ruby/ruby#13555. If `instance_variables_to_inspect` is defined, then `pretty_print_instance_variables` will use it. Additionally, this commit introduces tests for both `pretty_print_instance_variables` and `instance_variables_to_inspect`.

Ruby supports calling instance_variables_to_inspect even when it is defined as a private method (ruby/ruby#13555). This change aligns pp with Ruby's behavior.
