My intent was to allow the first line of a script header to be any line
starting with "#!<space>" or "#!/" and require that the script loader
ignore such a line when present. Otherwise, "#!<space>" and "#!/" would
be invalid syntax.
The current lex.tex treatment of #!/usr/bin/env as a comment---which is
incorrect anyway because it doesn't extend to the end-of-line as
written---would go away, and the "#!<space>" and "#!/" headers would be
mentioned only in scripts.tex.
