Description
as seen in #942 and #1000 (and others) use of `--lines` does not reliably work.
I'm trying to grok how/why....
As an example:
```hello.java
///usr/bin/env jbang "$0" "$@" ; exit $?
import static java.lang.System.*;
public class hello {
public static void main(String... args) {
out.println("Hello World");
}
}
```
I want google java format to ignore the first line - reading other isseues I should --skip-* as much as possible ...
`jbang com.google.googlejavaformat:google-java-format:1.28.0 --lines 2:9999 --skip-javadoc-formatting --skip-reflowing-long-strings --skip-sorting-imports --skip-removing-unused-imports hello.java`
result in first line being formatted as: `/// usr/bin/env jbang "$0" "$@" ; exit $?`
why ?
If I add `--lines 1000:9999` it works...but now the code is not formatted at all.
is this really the intended behavior of --lines ?
any way to have it not try include outside the lines requested?
