Thanks! This was the information I was looking for.

Some explanation for my use case:

For debugging an application, I'd like to run it with "polyc --script"
(not using the shebang) as this prints out intermediate datastructures.
When I only need the pure output w/o interleaved compiler output, I want
to use the compiled executable.

@David: Have you seen my other issue in the original email?
