What about this one, which nicely plays with the meaning of ";" in
Emacs and the Bourne shell:

------------------------- test -------------------------
#!/bin/sh
: ; exec emacs --script "$0" -- "$@"
(message "%S" command-line-args-left)
------------------------- test -------------------------

Might not be very portable.  And I couldn't cram the lexical-bindings
line in, yet.
