Since we're re-wording, "a special exception" doesn't seem quite right to me. I'm not sure what rule being discussed it is an exception to.

What about a seperate tag for #!/usr/bin/env ? The wording could be more precise, and it does seem like the current tag conflates two (somewhat related, but distinct) issues, Yes, I realize my two suggestions are somewhat contradictory ;). d
