[TxMt] Feature request: "see" like SubEthaEdit

Hi Allan,


I love this new features in the latest release of SubEthaEdit: It 
installs a shell command, see, which lets you open up files from the 
command line by just typing see myfile.rb (or some other file—you get 
the picture).

Now could we get the same thing for TextMate, please? That would be 
really useful, since I'm always working in both TextMate and the shell 
at the same time, and if I need to edit a particular file, it would 
typically be faster to just open the file from the shell, than to grab 
the mouse and click-expand/scroll around the folders tree to locate and 
open it.

I know that I can say open file.name, if that file is already 
associated with TextMate, but it opens in a separate window, not as 
part of my project. It would be nice with a command that just always 
opens TextMate, regardless of associations.

And when you make this feature, make sure you check if the file is 
already included in one of my open projects, and open it there, not in 
a separate window.

Thanks! :)

/Lars
