I don't think it is so strange. There are also shell scripts that are
automatically executed by /bin/sh. It would be very nice either to
type 'sh' in front of every shell script.
Since it is impossible to put #!/usr/local/bin/java at the first line
of a java "binary" (because it is a binary file) this addition would
be quite neat. Especially when Java apps will become more common it is
a must I think.
