For TM2, it would be nice to not have to do this pretty common step.

Perhaps we could just specify a text file in the bundle with a word  
per line for a certain scope, and TM automagically reads the file and  
optimizes a regex and uses that. This would certainly make  
maintaining the word list easier.
