Programs doesn't need to be read from a file. What I like
about #!case-fold is that it works in following both situations:
(1) I read file A and file B, both contains #! directives at the
beginning.
(2) I concatenate the whole content of file A and file B into
a static string literal embedded in my application and
call read on a string port opened on the literal.
(Encoding works in different layer; it should be handled _before_
'read' sees characters. I don't have a definite answer for that,
but file-level encoding specification ("coding: " magic line,
as several languages and editors recognizes as well) is working
fine in Gauche).
