It sounds like you would like to define what `*` means so you can type 
`*` as shorthand for a predefined glob.

I think this is what is normally handled with history, which TextMate 
already supports.

I use history for find globs a lot myself, and have not found that 
commonly used patterns are pushed out, if that is really the case, 
perhaps a better solution is to make history items sticky or extend the 
list of kept globs.
