It's long past time that bash, or whatever shell you use, learned to do what 
other shells (like Window, KDE, GNOME, etc.), and so learned what a MIME type 
is, and what to do with it.

#! is magic implemented by *exec* itself, and that's not what you really want, 
right? (i.e. you don't care if QProcess can't magically run QML files). It 
would also required that you chmod+x your QML files (yikes). But you just want 
your shell to know what to do with a *.qml file, right?

Otherwise, why not also:

#!/usr/bin/firefox
<html>
...

??? (amusingly, on my system, the above doesn't even run firefox, because 
/usr/bin/firefox is itself a shbang, and shbangs can't call shbangs [so much 
for THAT "abstraction"]).

Personally, prepending "qml " to execute QML files is fine for me and I don't 
need bash improved ;-)
