Description

To be able to run nice shell scripts like this...

#!/usr/bin/env groovy
println("Hello world")

the parser should treat '#' at the start of a line as being a comment. (This could be restricted to the first line only if need be - but heck, lets allow this as another comment format for now eh?)
