While I agree with the sentiment unless someone can present a reason why
allowing and then ignoring a she-bang is a terrible idea then this seems
like a case for letting end-users decide what is best for themselves. The
issue then is that apparently this isn't exactly high on anyone's list of
ToDo items so unless the OP or one of the +1 people are willing to supply a
patch the odds that it gets done decreases quite quickly.
As an aside - putting an "sql" extension onto a file that uses psql commands
and features seems wrong...
