checks. Thanks, Emilio Pozuelo Monfort. (Closes: #570408)

terminators. Thanks, Michal Čihař. (Closes: #564713)

Pop. (Closes: #560414)

start with a line like #!perl. This is probably just an editor
hint. Thanks, Thijs Kinkhorst. (Closes: #574826)
+ [RA] Mention #!@BASH@ and similar cases in the long tag description
of example-interpreter-not-absolute.
