   It also handles parameters in strange ways. One can write

#!/usr/bin/pytnon -O

   but not

#!/usr/bin/env pytnon -O

   Some operating systems understand that, some ignore -O completely, but
most OSes interpret "python -O" as one parameter and emit
"/usr/bin/env: python -O: No such file or directory" error.
