[TxMt] Dynamic scope or Ctags

I'm trying to create a language bundle where it will not be possible to identify all the scopes correctly using regular expressions. Is there a way to generate the scope dynamically somehow? 

I see there is a TextMate Ctags bundle (https://github.com/textmate/ctags.tmbundle). Does TextMate use CTags to locate and syntax color both functions and variables? Where does the file go and what name does it need to have?

Thanks,

John DeSoi, Ph.D.
