 28.1.3 Block Comments
 ---------------------
 
 In addition to the standard line comments defined by R5RS, Guile has
 another comment type for multiline comments, called "block comments".
 This type of comment begins with the character sequence `#!' and ends
 with the characters `!#', which must appear on a line of their own.
 These comments are compatible with the block comments in the Scheme
 Shell `scsh' ( The Scheme shell (scsh)).  The characters `#!'
 were chosen because they are the magic characters used in shell scripts
 for indicating that the name of the program for executing the script
 follows on the same line.
 
    Thus a Guile script often starts like this.
 
      #! /usr/local/bin/guile -s
      !#
 
    More details on Guile scripting can be found in the scripting section
 ( Guile Scripting).
