Actually, the OS could just set up the file pointer to the script file to be
_just_past_ the first line, so that the comment conventions of the particular
program would be irrelevant.  There's no reason I can see why the
newly-spawned child process's standard input must be set to the *beginning*
of the script file, when the OS knows that the first line is actually control
info.
