[Not speaking for the editors.]
While I agree with many things said in this thread, most posts I've
read ignore the fact that the specification of
#!/usr/bin/env scheme-script
talks about a little bit more than just the first line of script: It
encourages Scheme implementors on Unix systems to provide an entry
point in the form of an executable called "scheme-script". It may be
doing so in a fairly brain-damaged manner, but nevertheless.
While arguably platform specifics don't belong in a standard, some
form of standardization in this arena would be tremendously useful.
(And the current draft standardizes a number of other
platform-specific assumptions, such as the existence of a file systems
with files named by strings, and with files consisting of byte
streams.)
So aside from all the talk about syntax, it may be reasonable to
discuss whether the standard---possibly in a less conspicuous
place---should talk about ways to invoke Scheme on the more common
platforms.
