I'm not sure about this one.

- I often have multiple src blocks which make up one final script once
  tangled. When editing these blocks, I don't want a shebang line for
  each of them.

- Would this work with different shells? I write scripts in multiple
  shell dialects e.g. bash, sh, zsh, ksh etc. Will this add the correct
  shebang?

- Which form of shebang e.g #!/bin/<shell> or #!/usr/bin/env <shell>?

The only thing worse than having to add the shebang manually is having
to remember to remove/change it when not needed :)

Perhaps this could be a user configurable option that you can turn on if
you want it rather than a default action?
