Personally, I would find it weird to intermix text data with binary
data.  Then, an incorrect invocation of an editor will corrupt the
bytecode as the user saves the file.   As users aren't expected to edit
the .bc files by hand, I'm not sure I would want to see them edit the #!
line either.

This is possible now, although in a more involved manner:
