This would be similar to what emacs can do with a number of systems 
that are highly interactive in nature. It would probably require some 
things not currently in TextMate to be able to work in general, 
although one might be able to hack something together for a specific 
situation. I think I briefly discussed something like this with Allan a 
while back, and I think it was postponed a bit. But let's see what he 
says :-).

The way it is pulled off in emacs is due to its built-in language; I am 
not saying you must have a built in language to make it work, but it 
would probably be an advantage. Too bad AppleScript is kinda crappy 
;-). Would be nice with a more powerful "scripting" language.
