Ah, you must not have any major projects to procrastinate from...  :)

Yes, the bundles will need re-writing, but it feels like a stop-gap 
measure is possible with some work and a small amount of coordination.

It also seems like Allan has a lot of stuff on his to-do list!  1.2 
could be a long ways off...

So, to put my money where my mouth is, I tried out Chris Thomas's 
hierarchical scheme with the Perl.tmbundle just to see how hard it 
would be. It actually didn't take very long; the main issue was 
deciding where in the hierarchy things should go, like variables and 
functions.   Things that were unlikely to have an analog in another 
language (like POD) I put in a hierarchy beneath *.perl.

I also renamed the Latex innards. It was a little harder, as it's not 
really a programming language, but I took a shot at it.

ps. These are the classes I used. I know I'll just have to change 
them again, but it _feels_ more organized.  :)
