That's interesting. It seems like my code excisions accidentally fixed a
bug, but I don't have any idea how it happened.

Congratulations, you just identified iatrogenic bug #4. Two of the others
were in argument processing as well; seems I dropped a few stitches when I
was ripping out autogen, the over-complicated framework code that Classic uses
for command-argument processing.

I've tested and pushed a fix. The -c option should work as you expect now.

Please do not hesitate to report any other variances.
