Really? We're talking about scripts, after all, and for most scripting
languages (Ruby, Tcl, etc.) it wouldn't be a problem. Does Fortran have a
mode that allows you to use a #! line? I would have thought that Fortran
code would always have to be compiled, but I don't write Fortran code so I
don't really know.
