(I hesitate to suggest the following, but since nobody else is replying to
this thread...)

How about a modeline?  I think the following would work for both emacs and
vi(m?) (I'm not a vi user, so I might have it wrong):

	# -*-mode:shell-script-*-   vi: filetype=sh

(Now I'll wince and duck as people "calmly" discuss the merits of putting
editor-specific modelines in the source code, and especially which editors
deserve such treatment...)
