Actually - just what does '-psn_' imply?

Given that it is passed when started by launch services,  I was assuming
it meant the 'TransformProcessType' has already been called by the process
before the exec(2) was called to start the application.

i.e. that the app is being informed about the PSN which has already created.

This would seem to fit with keyboard events being available for an program run
from the cli which then uses TransformProcessType (i.e. not in a bundle,  and
not started by 'open -a').
