`true' or `yes' would be fine ... on the other hand simply
using the keyword its is sufficient enough IMHO. That is

  # X-Interactive

marks the script as interactive as well as

  # X-Interactive: true

whereas not using this keyword or using any other value after
the colon (even empty) should leave the script within the parallel
handling.
