OPENSTEP has openapp/open which behave as you describe, while MOSX
merged both in open, and open behaves as the sent patch makes gopen

from what people using MOSX said, indeed on OPENSTEP doesn't search for
app, but it seems MOSX does search for the app first in current dir
then in system/local/... even without -a. And it should be, because
MOSX does no longer have openapp, just open to do both tasks.

I think that as long as you don't break compatibility, just make it a
bit more useful and easier to use it ok.
