> Reading the shebang of a stamp file is a lot easier than scanning a bash file for any sneaky obfuscations

This.

However, the feedback in this thread is right.

Looking back over the past few years, I almost never used stamps as executables.

Generally I always use it as a library, or via something like `unstamp someStampToExpand.stamp`. So the shebangs and executability of stamp files were stupid, and added a lot of complexity for almost no gain.

I've just gone ahead and removed them.

I think now it should be a little clearer how easy it is to write stamp functions in other langs.
