I don't really understand this request.  If there's no such binary as
/usr/bin/javascript, why would any file start with #!/usr/bin/javascript?
Only files starting with that string would trigger this tag, and that
string specifically means that there exists some binary named
/usr/bin/javascript on the system that will run that script.
