Not at all. It's just a convenience.
It lets you run a program by typing "foo" instead of "exu foo".

ex and exw ignore it. It's just a comment to them.
However, I found that Apache Web Server on Windows
will read the shebang line and locate/execute exw (exwc) just like
on Linux. By adding a shebang line to some Euphoria CGI programs
on Windows/Apache I didn't have to translate or bind those 
programs into an executable file. That's more convenient when
you are developing, and still making frequent changes.
