Is the “$TM_MATE” supposed to be accessible as an env var to scripts
outside of Textmate bundles? The way I read this thread is that it
was, but I get nothing when opening a new shell and running “echo
$TM_MATE”. I have the shell support installed and have `export
EDITOR="/usr/local/bin/mate -w”` in my .bash_profile.
