Not to my knowledge. I would also consider it poor design to use a trick
like that. The normal assumption is that a shebang and just running the
command from command line are equivalent.
Normal solution here is to have a command line switch to select one
behavior or the other. That switch can be added to the shebang or the
command line, whatever you choose.
