Close, but no banana. You've also got to specify that any syntax used
up to and including that line has to be bash-3 legal.

The problem is... If bash-5 introduces multi-line comments or a new
assignment syntax, your version doesn't forbid:

    #* Copyright etc
       more multiline stuff
    *#

    let EAPI = 3

Unfortunately, we have to care about these things when doing the formal
spec... There're developers who'll pull all kinds of insane crap in the
tree...
