Draft JEP: Launch Single-File Source-Code Programs

[Volker Simonis]

Hi Jonathan,

that's an interesting proposal. It is just unfortunate that a Java
source file starting with "shebang" won't be a legal Java file
according to the Java Language Specification. Or do you plan to change
the JLS to allow (and ignore) "shebang" in the first line?

Thanks,
Volker
