that is correct.
i wish there was a way to still use a simple one-line hashbang.
maybe it would be possible to recognise a backslash-escaped newline for 
continuing the arguments to the interpreter?

it does not seem like a commonly needed, or even necessary, feature to 
support multi-line arguments to interpreter directives in executable 
scripts with scsh block comments like this.

by the way, my first example with the !# on the same line does not work. 
the !# apparently has to be on the second line.
