======#! syntax for xmlsh======

On unix, *nix, linux and MacOS systems (all the same but in name only as far as I'm concerned), the #! syntax is a favorite to make an interpreter script execute as a native command.

One may look to the common


Example:  myscript
%%
#!/bin/sh
echo Hello World
%%

Which is a shell script which can be run as if it were a native executable.

%%
./myscript
%%

Result
%%
Hello World
%%


So how to do the same with xmlsh ? 
The Nieve (and I admit I was nieve) is to simply do the same for xmlsh.
All documentation on Unix, Linux and MacOS implies it should work

%%
#!/usr/local/bin/xmlsh
xecho <[ "Hello World" ]>
%%


But alas this doesnt work ! 

Result
%%
./myscript: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
./myscript: line 2: `xecho <[ "Hello World" ]>'
%%

What is going on here ?  It appears that *nix systems do not like interpreters which are themselves scripts.
I experimented with many cases and found that if the "executable" after the ""#!"" is a script instead of a native executable then it simply is ignored.  I cannot find this documented anywhere ( reference requested !) 

To work around this, however, is easy once you know why it fails.

%%
#!/bin/sh /usr/local/bin/xmlsh
echo <[ "Hello World" ]>
%%

This works great because the 'executable" is /bin/sh.  It has no performance impact because that is the execuable which would be invoked if /usr/local/bin/xmlsh were run as an interpreter anyway  (it starts with #!/bin/sh itself).
