open: Incognito Not Working

Following your example for spawning an incognito session in Chrome doesn’t appear to work anymore.

opn('http://sindresorhus.com', {app: ['google chrome', '--incognito']});

The above command, from your readme, opens the window in Chrome, but not in incognito mode.

OSX: 10.12.2 Chrome: 56.0.2924.87
