#!/bad of course is a normal comment from the vew if a normal shell.
An execption is mz old "bsh" (not bosh) on a historic UNIX without support for
#! in the kernel.
On all recent platforms, #! is just another *magic number* that is handled by
the kernel only.
POSIX of course does not limit what magics are recognised by the kernel.
