[TxMt] Spreadsheets in Textmate

[Jeffrey Robert Spies]

I'm not exactly sure what the interest is in having a powerful  
spreadsheet in textmate, as there are some fine open source  
alternatives, but piping commands through R (maybe even using R  
syntax in your "spreadsheet" file) could rapidly give you additional  
functionality.

Google R if you haven't heard of it,

Jeff.
