Sure, the output is plain text. I'm there. But TextMate doesn't exist
in a vacuum. We all use word processors. Take vim (I'm not a BBEdit
user which may be adding to my confusion here), if I fold some text in
vim, say ':.,.+5 fo' to fold the next 5 lines under the cursor. Undo
('u') undoes the fold. Its what I've been trained to expect.
