I don't think it does; srfi-22 is incompatible with the existing
(and more useful, I think) interpretation of #! borrowed from scsh.
Well, almost.  Guile could decide to use the srfi-22 interpretation
when the first argument is a script name, and keep the current
behavior otherwise.  But that would be awfully ugly.  If srfi-22 is to
be supported, I'd suggest instead providing a separate guile-srfi-22
executable which accepts a script name as the first argument without
-s, and which interprets #! as a comment ending at the next newline.
