As written, yes; but it's close. A cheap csh + "alias shell" + a tiny
program together allow me to use #! syntax almost always. If everyone
used "exec?p()" and "exec?p()" used $SHELL, it would work ALL the time.
Since the majority of good programs use $SHELL, I have few problems.
Note that we don't even run System V, much less BSD.
