Actually, yes.  I think that -C should affect all options that follow
it.  I indeed failed to list that in the news file, something which I
will fix soon.  Thanks a lot for noticing.

I doubt that this change will have a big impact on backward-compatibility: it
took almost 6 years for *one* user to notice that the behavior of -T
option has changed since 1.15.1, so we can reasonably assume that it
does not belong to most widely used options.
