I vaguely recall when Chip put that in. He worked pretty hard to
adjust the command line/#! option processing. (Something about
unsafe operations already being done before the script is read.)

You are asking for the first line of the input script be read before
any of the command line arguments are processed, this line would
then be searched for the -T and have that propogated to the front
of any command line arguments.

Sounds messy. 

Hmm, got one. '-S' searches the PATH for the script.

(Someone remind me, What is the point of -T if not running setuid?)
