#! would be a nice option to increase capabilities on invocation. But the
final target must be linked to the invocation by an entity/revision binding.
Since we do not have modification versions i could think about checksums:

#!#/bin/setcap
10de6c9a339800777c2a8c43a7def924 /bin/ls
+NET_ADMINe

This even will add another integrity checking layer tp the system.
