Really? We're talking about scripts, after all, and for most scripting 
languages (Ruby, Tcl, etc.) it wouldn't be a problem. Does Fortran have a 
mode that allows you to use a #! line? I would have thought that Fortran 
code would always have to be compiled, but I don't write Fortran code so I 
don't really know.
