Maybe I am missing something here, but as far as I can see this is an
argument for _keeping_ the #! line, because at least it will give a hint
that a /bin/bash library will not work for a /bin/sh script, whereas
"this is a shell library" can mean almost anything.

Anyways, I can certainly survive without the #! line. So please feel
free to ignore my comments if you feel strongly about this.
