Some general comments about how I understand this stuff to work, a bit
long, perhaps, but to be sure we're all on the same starting line.
Also, due to being out of the office, I missed some of the earlier mails
and so will most likely repeat some things that have already been said.

How about identifying patterns specific to each shell, and then
implementing an algorithm that would produce score for each shell
match. The one with the highest score will be the one used by
src-highlite. This perhaps should be a

Sure, but still I would begin with parsing shebang (with some additions --
like Tcl), and then I would see how many scripts are ambiguous.

wish is Tcl runtime (the same as /usr/bin/perl for Perl programs).

I need to detect the actual programming language of a script.

"sha-bang" (#!), e.g.,
#!/bin/bash
or
#!/usr/bin/perl
However, there are cases where this is not enough, since the script,
although it has #!/bin/sh is act
