The current implementation is not enough:

address@hidden:/tmp> cat /tmp/qq
#!/usr/bin/emacs --script

(message "The date is %s" (current-time-string))

address@hidden:/tmp> /tmp/qq
Invalid read syntax: "#"

When called with --script, emacs should ignore #! and the rest of the line
(I do not know if that line could continue on the following lines too).
