We have two different contexts:

* File context (FILE#executed?) - Was the file executed?
* Code context (`Kernel#executable?`) - Is the code executable?

I prefer to work at the code context level since we can then add other conditions to allow a code to be executable.
e.g. 

```ruby
def executable?
  if __FILE__ == $0 && ARGV[1] == "foo"
end
```

The current construct to execute main code looks not very elegant:

~~~ruby
if __FILE__ == $0
  my_main()          # call any method or execute any code
end
~~~

With a `Kernel#executed?` method, this would become more elegant:

~~~ruby
if executed?
  #do this
  #do that
  my_main()
end
~~~

or

~~~ruby
main() if executed?
~~~

This addition would not break any existent behaviour.
