[Sbcl-devel] sbcl script enhancement for sesquicolon :;

[Thibault K. <kr...@in...>]

Hi,

According to this link:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsScripts

emacs can be used as a script interpreter for shell scripts starting 
with :; instead of the hashbang #!
This is a trick based on
- linux invoking sh when neither # nor #! are used as initial chars in a 
file,
- sh treating : as null command and ; as command separator,
- emacs lisp evaluating : to itself.

I now wonder whether it would be possible to extend sbcl --script to do 
the same, for that it would need to either also evaluate : to itself 
(I'll guess this is not an option), or to disregard the first line if it 
starts with :; when running with the --script option, just as it 
disregards the first line with !# now.

Thoughts?

cheers,
   Thibault
