Subject: A Rake executable script, is this the correct approach

I humbly come to you, because searching, mostly google, has failed to 
produce a reference, or someone who has done this.

We traditionally run Rakefile's using either
$ rake
or
$ rake -f my.rake
etc

what if I wanted an executable script, say myscript, which is really a 
rake task file, but runs as though it where run as above.
Attempt 1
#!/usr/bin/env rake
task :default do puts "Hello, Rake!" end
FAILED

Attempt 2
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
task :default do puts "Hello, Rake!" end
Rake::Task[:default].invoke
SUCCESS

So, is the latter really the best way?  While it works I worry that rake 
is somehow not setup the same way if the this had been run the 
traditional way.  Thanks
