Description Mark Macdonald CLA 2011-05-29 20:09:23 EDT 
TextMate allows the "end" regex in a begin..end rule to backreference matching groups from the "begin" match.
So you can do something like this:
> { name: "heredoc",
>   begin: "<<(\w+)",
>   end: "^\1$"
> }
to match a Perl-style "here document" block.

Should support this.
