Just for the records, calling "$TM_MATE" with e.g. a --line argument w/o a file path will work on current file even when that file is untitled.
Is the “$TM_MATE” supposed to be accessible as an env var to scripts outside of Textmate bundles? The way I read this thread is that it was, but I get nothing when opening a new shell and running “echo $TM_MATE”. I have the shell support installed and have `export EDITOR="/usr/local/bin/mate -w”` in my .bash_profile.

In the "Bundle Support" bundle in Support/shared/lib/textmate.rb there's a go_to function, which uses the txmt:// protocol for the current file, or when a path is supplied it uses the mate cli.

This is a “new” feature (2.0) and the go_to function hasn’t been updated to take advantage of this, thus it still falls back on txmt: for untitled files, but using "$TM_MATE" is more robust since a few other applications can claim the txmt: URL scheme.
Also, the path to the mate shell command is exposed to bundle items via the TM_MATE environment variable, so going via a shell interpreter it can be reached with: "$TM_MATE".
