Right — the binary here is because when TM opens a file it goes through:

  binary import command → decode to utf-8 → conert to use LF → regular import command → display.

So text/binary wrt. import commands simply refer to wether or not you want to work with the canonical utf-8 / LF representation of the document (as would be appropriate if e.g. stripping whitespace prior to save) or the content as it is on disk.

Reverse path. So if you have ‘/tmp/foo.cc’ it has scope ‘attr.rev-path.cc.foo.tmp’.

This allows e.g. to inject matching of ‘<?php … ?>’ tags into ‘text.html & attr.rev-path.php’ to enable it only in HTML files with a php file extension.

Put on Github and send a link to it.
