yes, it's me. ;-)

actually, it's a very simple patch to lexer (i already did that). but if dmd
forbids a perfectly valid shebang… well, i'm sure that D is not in the position
to change existing standards. if dmd can't compile valid code… it's not a bug
in users' locale, it's THE bug in dmd. let's redefine POSIX then, POSIX is not
cool. let's dictate what usernames are allowed. let's dictate what pathes are
allowed. and so on. D über alles, fsck standards!
