Oh. Thus in following script:
thirst<zaks>(1950)% cat tst.sh
#!/bin/no-such-file
ps -lp $$
Which generates following output.
thirst<zaks>(1949)% ./tst.sh /tmp
UID PID PPID CPU PRI NI VSZ RSS MWCHAN STAT TT TIME COMMAND
1001 31645 31278 0 8 0 1636 1024 wait S+ p5 0:00.00 sh ./tst.sh
the interpreter is assumed to be /bin/sh. That's fine with me.

By no means I wish to force anyone to fix their scripts for 5.3
release. Period. I would only like to use Allegro CL in scripts, which
unfortunately considers -#! valid in argument list and acts accordingly on
all platforms besides FreeBSD. Some (in)compatibility shim would be
great. Please! :)
