I have found a description that includes the second parameter:

first number (mode):
0:	GSM only (2G only which IMHO includes GPRS and EDGE)
1:	WDMA only (3G only)
2:	GSM first (i.e. 2G over 3G)
3:	WCDMA first (i.e. 3G over 2G)
4:	no change
5:	auto

second number (service domain):
0:	circuit switched only (i.e. no GPRS/EDGE)
1:	packet switched only
2:	circuit and/or packed switched
3:	no preference
4:	no change
5:	demand PS attach
6:	demand PS detach

So I think what most of us would like to have is AT_OPSYS=3,2 and the user being able to disable 3G or 2G
