It's not uncommon to do so, and it definitely works to have:

#! /path/to/interpreter

I actually type that format by reflex, having started writing scripts
in an environment where that was passed down as the proper syntax.
Interestingly some Googling suggests that there may never have been a unix
that literally matched "#! /" at the start (as a 32-bit word), making the
space compulsory, even though that was the received wisdom for a while.
