Hey TJ,
Interesting. I wonder if that can be done in Bash 4.x.

Not necessary for normal usr commands.

BBEdit provides the file internally for the given command, so cat is not needed.
#!/bin/zsh
read -r -d '' bbeditScript <<'EOF'
tell application "BBEdit"
tell front document
if on disk = true then
tell it to save
end if
end tell
end tell
EOF
sed -E 's![[:blank:]]+$!!';
osascript -e "$bbeditScript" &|

Look at the environment variables on p. 318 of the BBEdit user manual.
You can discover a number of things about the selection and restore it using
the same AppleScript you save the document with.
Or you can go pure AppleScript which will not affect the selection.
tell application "BBEdit"
tell front text document
tell its text to replace "[[:blank:]]+$" using "" options {search
mode:grep, starting at top:true}
if its on disk = true then save it
end tell
end tell
