Heya,

So I think I prefer giving some more specific advice. Even if we don't
mention "#!" lines explicitly, saying "This exists, but exec didn't

Seconded. We should at least give the user enough information to
figure out next steps. I like the advice from bad_interpreter_advice,
although it might be phrased more as a suggestion "Try looking at
..."?
