He may have been referring to the fact that the shebang line (on many
OSs) truncates anything after the first arg, thus subverting the
usefulness of env on the shebang line.  Linux is an example.  Here's

POSIX did not require sanely splitting the args, though a reasonable
extension was proposed, but never adopted.
