The engine itself doesn't, but the OS does. On one level it's like
creating an applescript and getting the name of the app spelled wrong.

tell "Fnider" ...whatever

On another level, the first comment line in an executable script is a
way of identifying the type of script that will be run. If I find a
script whose first line says "#!perl" then I can be fairly certain
that what follows will be a perl script. And if I find one that says
"#!revolution" then I can be pretty sure that what follows will be
Transcript... er... revolution code.
