Last night I used
grep -rl '#!.*python' | xargs sed -i '1s/python$/python3/'
and it took just over half a second, so I thought "good enough"
Today, whilst waiting for yet another rustc build to complete, I
thought "wouldn't it be better to only alter this one test script?"
followed by "But maybe there are others that didn't showup in my
config?"
So I took a look on an idle machine: 137 scripts, mostly utils. So
that mass change does need to happen.

That's oppression, that is. [ Guards! Guards! ]
