That doesn't sound quite right. With option 3, `racket' would decide on
file versus command syntactically, without consulting the set of
available commands or files. So, changes in available files or commands
do not change the interpretation of a command line.

I believe that a script implementor would be punished only if the
script was called from its own directory without using a path prefix
and when "." is in PATH.
