Summary0000263: Shebang patterns only match the beginning of the command, rather than the whole word
DescriptionCurrently, magic patterns that detect files using a shebang only test the beginning of the command string.

A file starting with e.g. `#!/usr/bin/env basher` is detected as "Bourne-Again shell script", even though "basher" is not bash.
The same issue affects every shebang pattern I tried (sh, bash, node, python, perl etc).
Steps To Reproduce$ echo '#!/bin/shawarma' > script
$ file script
script: POSIX shell script, ASCII text executable
TagsNo tags attached.
