Put the above somewhere in your path (e.g. /usr/local/bin), make it

which will load and execute the script,
calling script.main as its last act.

Be aware that this trick (shebanging to a script rather than a binary)
isn't specified by the POSIX standard. It works on Linux, but I don't
know about other systems.

Ah, thanks for that!

I'm pretty sure I've used systems where you could not shebang to a script. Solaris IIRC. Several years ago, might not be an issue on modern releases.
