That's not a valid #! line, though, so if we do add the interpreter,
you're just going to get a different warning saying that you need to put
the correct path to the program in that line. If that's the right thing
to have happen, we can do that, but sometimes it isn't.
What's the purpose of that #! line? Is that file supposed to be
executable and runnable as a script?
