would it be possible to write a module that would allow textMate to ignore data between a given delimiter ( in this case ` ), treating it as binary instead of ascii?

You could write a module with two commands:

- Open Binary - Save Binary

You'd open a blank document, select that module, choose Open Binary. It would prompt you for a file name and run the file through your pre- filter of choice (perl, ruby, python, ...) escaping the binary bytes into a standard format such as \xNN. The filtered output would replace the currently open and blank document.

Edit, edit edit.

Then select Save Binary which would reverse the operation.
