JFYI, this doesn't work. Interpreter has to be binary.

My bad, I completely forgot that -- the trick is to use eg.
/usr/bin/env as a middleman:

> cat sbcl-tramp
#!/bin/sh
exec sbcl --dynamic-space-size 4Gb --script $@
[nikodemus@...:~]
> cat foo
#!/usr/bin/env sbcl-tramp
(write-line "OK")
[nikodemus@...:~]
> ./foo
OK

Cheers,

Actually, it does - just with a twist.

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/sbcl --dynamic-space-size 4096 --script myscript.lisp $*
##

sbcl is smart enough to ignore the first shebang line in myscript.lisp 
even when it's invoked like the above. *posix-argv* come across just 
file as well.

Unless you know what you're doing, always use "$@" instead of unquoted
$@ or $*, otherwise bad things will happen if one of the arguments
contains spaces
