Look, Steve. The Standard Additions Dictionary says:

See that "file"? It's required. It's not optional. It's not a bug that
you
have to write 'file' or 'alias' (which is coerced to 'file' when it
exists
already). It's part of the command. If you don't like that, too bad.
It's
not negotiable.
Uh, I know it's required. I never said the parameter wasn't required.
It may not be a real bug, but it's an annoyance, especially since other
commands in Standard Additions *can* accept a string. It should be
consistent across all the commands and all apps. No, I retract that. It
*is* a bug in that it works when the file doesn't exist but not when it
does exist. If it works in one case but not in another, that's a bug.
