Instead we could create an API which allows TextMate to call external libraries, think libclang, to get autocompletion and the syntax highlight. This would allow for a accurate autocompletion based on the current symbol. This would be implemented as a plugin for TextMate using a common API making it possible to add this for any language.<br>

I think a bundle command could could just take the entire file contents plus the caret position as input for a script.
