I am inclined to say that we should declare victory and merge this
down to 'next' soonish, unless somebody spots a big hole in the
logic, or finds a nicer way to "solve" the "-C problem" (to which I
suspect there is no clean solution, as the original behaviour is
more or less inconsistent---that is probably because the feature was
designed assuming that nobody will combine -C with other options).

Thanks.
