Personally, I like very much the '#!' construction because it allows
you to have set-[gu]id shell scripts. 2.8 BSD even allows you to
have execute-only (i.e., non-readable) scripts. The 4.x implementation
lets you give flags, e.g. csh -f, so csh scripts can start up reasonably
fast. True, error messages could be better, but I would protest any
idea to scrap these facilities.
