This would be incompatible with standard bourne shell behavior.  What
happens if you execute a bash shell script?

Even if bash were to adopt the behavior you specified, a single-letter
option equivalent to `--norc' is necessary, since you can't group `--norc'
with other options and the BSD #! kernel hack only allows one argument to
the interpreter other than the path of the script file (which it adds
implicitly).
