I strongly object to this "feature".  /bin/sh is a Unix standard back to
IIRC around 7th Edition, and there is NO good reason to break it.  The
"#!/usr/bin/env foo" suggested replacement has always been a hack to
work around broken systems, not something suggested for all scripts.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
