Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: workspace.open( ) with no URI

I just learned that [calling open on workspace](https://discuss.atom.io/t/how-can-we-help-you-write-packages/4268/67) without specifying an uri is the way to go for getting a new tab with a new document.

I can't find anything about this in either the docs or the [api documentation.](https://atom.io/docs/api/v0.187.0/Workspace#instance-open)

Should `uri` be marked optional, like the `options` params? And should it be added a line stating that no uri opens a blank editor?

(and there's an extra `a` in the title..)
