To associate .txt with Markdown, from Terminal.app do (while TM is not 
running):
    defaults write com.macromates.textmate OakLanguageFileBindings 
'({name = "Markdown"; fileTypes = (txt); language = 
"0A1D9874-B448-11D9-BD50-000D93B6E43C";})'

If you want all new documents to open as Markdown, do:
    defaults write com.macromates.textmate OakDefaultLanguage 
'0A1D9874-B448-11D9-BD50-000D93B6E43C'

If you later regret this, just do:
    defaults delete com.macromates.textmate OakDefaultLanguage

In these examples the long string is the UUID of the language.

Also, in the first example you can set firstLineMatch to a regex 
instead of the fileTypes array (or you can set both).

Thanks -- well, I do have ~3 items that I _really_ would like/need to 
do before going back to official betas. But hopefully I'll have a 
productive weekend! :)
