Shebang line in Dart scripts

[Stuart Rackham]

The Dart VM appears to support a shebang line (the version I'm using

is Dart SDK version 10095) e.g.

  $ cat hello.dart

  #!/home/srackham/local/bin/dart/dart-sdk/bin/dart

  void main() {

    print("Hello World!");

  }

  $ ./hello.dart

  Hello World!

It's a great feature but I haven't seen it documented anywhere so my 

question is is it here to stay?

Cheers, Stuart

I've answered my question: yes, it goes under the name 'script tag' and it's in the language spec, apologies for the noise.

Ah, my favorite kind of question on the mailing list: one where I don't have to answer it. :)

Thanks for figuring this out yourself and posting it here. That helps other Dart users who later run into this and search for help.

Cheers!
