I'll agree with you. But unless you propose to change the semantics
of when and where arguments are processed, you have timing problems.

With no command line arguments perl can honor everything on the #!
line. With command line arguments, perl has to process them to
know how to interpret the script.

The only other mechanism that might be worthwhile would be for perl
to notice the -T and then give up and re-exec itself with an added
-T at the front of the line.

This would be workable as long as none of the -M's do anything to
change state.
