oooh, yeah!
i really wanted to do that, but don't have the time. I'm glad that  
someone is doing it.
I really think it would make sense to be able to have a single regex  
syntax imported instead of every language that uses them have their  
own rules.
Ruby seems to have a better implementation that most, but i haven't  
really looked hard.

Brilliance Black (now out of beta and in the official themes folder  
in the repo and included with the latest release of TM) fully  
supports all of Ruby's regex related scopes (including nested groups  
and such).

For regex especially, i find it very nice to have each successively  
nested group have a slightly more brilliant bg color. Allows us right  
brained developers to much more easily visually parse that carp.

I have plans for css, too.
