It's principally a good idea, but a function is very complicated to realize as
the shebang is already sent when the function will be called.
What I'd prefer is erasing the shebang line every time in a non-cli script when
the two first bytes are '#' and '!'. (I'd wonder if there exist some people who
really begin the content of their websites with a #!...)

Description:
------------
It would be really useful to be able to write single files that would run
cleanly
as *either* CGI or CLI scripts.
At the moment, the closing '?>' tag will eat the trailing newline.
So, similarly, I'd like to request a way for the opening '<?' tag to eat the
previous literal shebang line.
Test script:
---------------
#!/usr/bin/php
<?
if (php_sapi_name()== "cgi"){
erase_previous_line() <-- hypothetical function.
echo "I am CGI<br>";
}else{
echo "I am CLI\n";
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Exactly one line should be printed:
"I am CLI|CGI"
Actual result:
--------------
In CLI mode, this script cleanly prints:
"I am CLI"
but in Apache mode, the script prints the first line literally:
"#!/usr/bin/php
I am CGI<br>"
It's relatively easy to work around this with a wrapper script, but I'd
appreciate the elegance of having a single file that can operate in both modes.
Thank you for your time.
