As a side note, there are some PS interpreters that understand
structured comments. A case in point is the Dataproducts 1260. How do I
know? When an area larger than A4 was specified for the bounding box, a
bug in the interpreter was tickled and characters came out 2x tall. I
was most annoyed.

However the leading %! is noted by the print filter or spooler in all
the systems I know.
