Sure, that's what was meant. `emacs -batch <file> would execute the
file in batch mode.

Why not ?

We could do that as well. Note that some systems have a limit of 32 chars
past which the #! things are ignored: your suggestion takes 14 chars,
which doesn't leave much to the "path to emacs plus space". The reuse
of --batch (and thus -b as well) is preferable from that point of view.
But of course, we could also use -B or whatever else we may fancy.
