I don't think "at" is optional in the sense that it's never necessary.
I think it's optional in the sense that not every invocation is, well,
required to require it.
Apparently the "free" Cocoa implementation to make a new document does
require "at". But the obvious question is why would Apple programs
choose to make it required? The obvious, and most common, default when
creating a new document is to have it appear "at front". When no "at"
is provided it should just make it in front.
