Application and application process are legacy in OS X finder suite: how do I find the frontmost app?

This script is now broken under X (10.1.4)

tell application "Finder"
application process whose frontmost is true
-->Can't get application whose frontmost = true.
end tell

In the Finder dictionary, process and application process are listed as
legacy (and I guess are now broken?)

Anyone know what is the recommended new way to get the frontmost app?
Can't see anything in the standard additions.
