command-line launcher for macOS in the spirit of open

Apple provides a simple command-line launching program called open with macOS. It offers few options - launching applications by name or by path, launching TextEdit, or opening a number of applications, documents, folders, or URLs. With the exception of special support for TextEdit (open -a), launch does all this and more.
