Hi all,
as you may know, Vip supports a special syntax in the first line, inspired by
the "#!" ("hash-bang") in Unix shells.
If the first line starts with "# VIP " then the rest of the line is taken as a
file name - with optional arguments - which is automatically loaded via
'script'.
For example
# VIP @lib/vip/draw.l
loads the ASCII drawing library.
Now, with version 21.7.27, Vip can also directly execute Lisp expressions in the
first line. The marker for recognition is a "(" character. For example
# VIP (=: flat T)
switches off the markup (as if pressing F1).
Naturally, this implies that the first form will not work with file names
starting with a "(" character.
You can pass one or more expressions. They will be evaluated with 'This' on the
current buffer, and the namespace search order set to (vip pico).
