Shebang support

Could gst treat #!... lines as comments? It would reduce much hackery:

This way, Smalltalk code can double as shell script and executable program.

On the first line, it does.

However, it doesn't work in the case where you cannot use "#!
/usr/bin/env gst".  As the page says, "Occasionally, a more complex
shebang line is needed".

Ah, thank you.

If gst didn't require -f before the file to load, interpreting the first
nonflagged argument as the file to load, then would the more standard
#!/usr/bin/env
gst work?

It does already.  The effect of -f is to pass the remaining arguments to
Smalltalk.  Changing this is not possible for historical reasons and
because it is actually useful to say "gst f.st g.st".

I don't think it is asking too much to write this:

#! /bin/sh
"exec" "gst" "-f" "$0" "$@"
