And *you* forgot

	#! /bin/make -f

:-) :-)

and, for that matter,

	#! /usr/ucb/vi
	#! /usr/local/emacs
	#! /bin/ed
	etc.

:-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

The headache with that hack is that somebody might have a long comment
(I think the S5R4 "sed" will support "#" as a general comment character,
as BSD's "sed" already does) one of the lines of which begins with "n".

A better fix would be to teach "sed" about "getopt", so that

	#!/bin/sed -nf

works.

It'd be nice, but I don't know if it's coming in S5R4 - or 4.4BSD, for
that matter.
