How programs get run

GNU Guile has a special "meta switch" which instructs the interpreter to interpret the first few lines of the file -- up to a line containing only "!#" -- as arguments to the interpreter rather than as source code. It seems to work quite well:

#!/usr/local/bin/guile \
-e main -s
!#
(define (main args)
        (map (lambda (arg) (display arg) (display " "))
             (cdr args))
        (newline))
