#! -> treat as comment

[Bigous]

When writing a node software that should create a batch or symbolic link, we need to put the folowing line at the begining of the .js file:

#!/bin/node

So npm knows it is a node executable script and creates a batch file with all the necessary stuff in it.
If we put it at a typescript file to be transpiled to javascript, it works, but gives annoying compilation error.
I purpose that lines started with #! shoud be treated as a special case of commentary line that should always go to the transpiled file.

What error are you getting? I'm using 1.7.5 and the #!/bin/node line is kept (copied to the .js file) without any error. (I believe #2749 first added #! support.)

Maybe you're running into microsoft/vscode#899?

This is a duplicate suggestion of #2749 -- if you're running bits that have that change, please post a specific bug report if that feature isn't working.

That's it @jesseschalken ...

You can threat it as a duplicate - sorry about that (didn't know it was called shebangs)
