Great!
Can you perhaps suggest a book from which I would have learned this
and other architectural nuances of systems programming on the Mac?
I can't, partly because I haven't done an exhaustive survey of all
programming books on Mac OS X topics. But mostly because this is an
uncommon case, and as Bill says, the standard approach is to create a
bundled application, so there's probably little discussion of this
case, which is relatively rare.
Although not so rare that it hasn't been discussed multiple times on
both the Carbon and Cocoa programming lists; you're not the first
person to run into this, and it's a fairly common desire especially
for authors of scripting language runtimes who might want to be able
to run a script from the command line that becomes a UI-capable
application later.
You could certainly file a bug with Apple asking for explicit
documentation about this usage case.
