/me too/ :) I have done this on a large scale project (PHP4 for all-around
scripting) and I really hate putting '<?php' and '?>' at the beginning and
the end of every single script.

No, it's not hard work, it just looks ugly:

#!/usr/local/bin/php -q
<?php
        ... code ...
?>

But then, I'll look forward to anything to escape from /bin/sh! :)))
