Thanks for your kind reply Thomas,
I do not know Ruby although I know some Python. Do you think I need to invest
time to learn Ruby in order to manipulate TextMate or should I stick to Python?

Anyway, here is a snippet that I came up with. 

// Class: ${1:ClassName}
// Instance Variables: ${2:var1}, ${3:var2}

// $1.h
#import <objc/Object.h>

@interface $1: Object
{
    int $2;
    int $3;
}
-(void) set${2/(\w+)/\u$1/}: (int) $2Val;
-(void) set${3/(\w+)/\u$1/}: (int) $3Val;
-(int) $2;
-(int) $3;
@end

// $1.m
#import "$1.h"

@implementation $1;
-(void) set${2/(\w+)/\u$1/}: (int) $2Val
{
    $2=$2Val;
}
-(void) set${3/(\w+)/\u$1/}: (int) $3Val
{
    $3=$3Val;
}
-(int) $2
{
    return $2;
}
-(int) $3
{
    return $3;
}
@end
