I did some quick research:
  - The Java-based languages use a semi-colon, rather than a brace.
  - D uses 'module' to define its packages.
  - Before I added the firstLineMatch, my files were coming up as  
plain-text.  If there's a language this pattern conflicts with,  
TextMate doesn't know about it out-of-the-box.

Here's a slightly-modified version that caps the ends of the string.   
It also makes the { optional (in case someone puts his braces on the  
next line):
^package\s?([\w\.]*)\s?{?$

I'd venture a guess that package ... { is the handily the most common  
first line of an AS class; however, why don't we use either method?
(^package\s?([\w\.]*)\s?{?$)|(\bAS3\b)

Note:  I get this as a first line if I do new AS3 class from template:
package .var.folders.NQ.NQfuLuLLE+aVJJfvkTLNwU+++TI.-Tmp- {


I imagine I'll have plenty to contribute in the way of bundlie- 
goodness.  I don't personally use a version control system, and I'm  
not wed to any of them.  Is there any sort of utility that will enable  
me to contribute to any of them, so I could fork somebody on github  
and somebody else on bitbucket without having to mess with git and hg?

Thanks,
