Some editors can also use `# -*- foo -*-` comments to set up editing modes and
there are other ways to specify which version linters to use.

I generally avoid shebangs where they aren't needed, and between entry points
and -m they rarely are these days.  I find most uses are in smaller one-off
scripts and such.
