I swear, some people are more interested in shooting down an idea instead
of trying to solve a problem. All scripting languages worth their salt
have some sort of comment syntax. So, make some unique pattern that can be
used to identify a script language, and allow it anywhere in the first couple
of lines of the script (in the first couple of lines to allow for programs
that use a seperate line to indicate a comment pseudo-op, or need some magic
on line 1):

-----
/* $$SCRIPT(RX $*) */
-----
.key whatever
; $$SCRIPT(EXECUTE $*)
-----
# $$SCRIPT(BAWK -F: $*)
-----
%{
/* $$SCRIPT(INSTANT-LEX $* S:MAIN.C)
