[GENERAL] Petition: Treat #!... shebangs as comments

2014-07-18 Thread Andrew Pennebaker
Could we please have the PostgreSQL lexer treat #!... on the first line of a file as a comment? This would enable .psql scripts to be run with dot-slash notation preferred by many unix users: ./script.psql While still allowing the traditional (and Windows compatible) style: psql -f script.psql

I personally like Francisco Olarte's approach. Hashbang's don't support arguments well ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4303128/how-to-use-multiple-arguments-with-a-shebang-i-e) and being able to put JUST psql as the command to execute the script doesn't scale across environments. Previously
