I see why. The lack of shebang puzzled me until I did man bash, search
for executable and found this gem " If this execution fails because
the file is not in executable format, and the file is not a directory,
it is assumed to be a shell script, a file containing shell commands.
A subshell is spawned to execute it.". Does this works in other
shells?
