This is one of those cases I would file under "POSIX being annoyingly literal".POSIX says that the execve syscall reads the name of an interpreter (and options) from a '#!' line, prefaces them onto the front of argv, and then restarts itself.

It doesn't. You have to deal with what the implementations return and
make your best guess.
