# `sbang`: Run scripts with long shebang lines.

# Obviously, for this to work, `sbang` needs to have a short enough
# path that *it* will run without hitting OS limits.
#
+# For Lua, scripts the second line can't start with #!, as # is not
+# the comment character in lua (even though lua ignores #! on the
+# *first* line of a script). So, instrument a lua script like this,

+# 2 --!/long/path/to/lua with arguments
+# 3
