Re: Petition: Treat #!... shebangs as comments

As a workaround, I can use this shebang hack:

$ cat hello.psql
--() { :; }; exec psql -f "$0"

SELECT 'Hello World!';

$ ./hello.psql
?column?
--------------
Hello World!
(1 row)

$ psql -f hello.psql
?column?
--------------
Hello World!
(1 row)

But I would prefer to use a traditional (#!/usr/bin/env psql -f) shebang.
It took a few hours on irc to hack this one together.
