As you mention "shebangs began .. as csh-only
hack":
I still wonder if one may call the BSD csh-hack as origin,
because #! might have been developed independently at Bell Labs.
No, that would be too much of a coincidence to choose exactly the
same characters. There has to be a single point of origin, from
which it spread by stimulus diffusion (you hear there are telescopes,
you know they use lenses, you build your own telescope).
I thought sh-like shells in general try to interprete
scripts themselves
upon an ENOEXEC. Do you know certain shells which actually call "/bin/sh"?
Yes, seemingly bash does that too. Bogus.
