#! loader convention

[Paul Barton-Davis]

I believe that the convention of interpreting #! comments in
"scripts" is built in the loader for BSD. Does anyone know
if any such mechanism exists at the same level in System V ?
I'm looking for more than just some of those brain-damaged
shell conventions like (":" means use /bin/sh), something that
one can guarantee that a call to exec[vlpe] will succeed
even if the file needs an interpeter.
