In `go run` the CLI interprets it as universal path, to be precise. That's exactly the point.

That's not an alternative when you're working on the app's code locally. You have to use `./cmd/myapp`.

And when you do that multiple times per day/week, after a while you just start always using `./` prefix for local paths.

Would it be preferable to use a URI for go run?

For example

- go run go://cmd/foo

- go run file:///cmd/foo
