I mean that the other way around actually: if I say 

  journalctl /usr/bin/yum-builddep

where yum-buildep is a python script, journalctl would look at the file type
(looking for a #! line or whatever the way to detect that is), and
use _COMM=yum-builddep instead of _EXE=/usr/bin/yum-builddep, because
_EXE won't match anything in this context.
