I have this function in the Show TODO List command:

    def TextMate.file_link (file, line = 0)
      return "txmt://open/?url=file://" +
        file.gsub(/[^a-zA-Z0-9.-\/]/) { |m| sprintf("%%%02X", m[0]) } +
        "&line=" + line.to_s
    end

I will move it to the textmate ruby lib in Support/lib so that Ruby  
commands can just use this one.

I assume that “pass that to Lua” means through the shell? There are  
also a few shell_escape functions in various commands, where instead  
I should harmonize and (again) move to the textmate ruby lib :)
