Ah, you found the code.  I had a look, but it seemed to be a massive tangle of 
frameworks, and I gave up looking for the relevant parts.  A lot of people seem 
to like TextMate, so it might be nice to have a decent port.  Objective-C++ is 
fine - LanguageKit uses Objective-C++ and it works nicely with GNUstep, but the 
build system for TextMate looks like it would be a lot of work to port.
