No, I saw it.  That doesn't mean I agree with it.  I still think that
there shouldn't be anything in the normal path (with manpages
available) that will, when run, do something as confusing as

  $ ./foobar
  bash: ./foobar: No such file or directory

because you were able to install it without satisfying its
#!/usr/bin/baz dependency.
