I'm not exactly sure what the interest is in having a powerful spreadsheet in textmate, as there are some fine open source alternatives, but piping commands through R (maybe even using R syntax in your "spreadsheet" file) could rapidly give you additional functionality.
Google R if you haven't heard of it,

Hm, I think I see what you mean by the const_missing idea. How about cells like C$5 though, or $C$5? Would they be as easy to work with? I definitely want the syntax to allow ranges like C$4:F $4 etc.
No, the dollar signs and ranges need to be beat with the Ruby stick, if you go this way. You could always get const_missing() to support something like C4_F4, returning and Array range. C4::F4 is also possible with some clever proxy object work.
If you want it to look like Excel though, this is not the way to go.
