However there are two kind of files which are treated differently:

* groovy files with the shebang line (#!/bin/groovy) need to have the
shebang line first, then the header
* some documentation examples have no header on purpose, because they are
included in a block of code in the documentation. It wouldn't make any
sense to have a header in a snippet of code in a documentation page.
