It does not break the existing behavior. It just fixes the documented
behavior.

The existing parser was apparently broken: When parsing e. g. -C 3, it
detected the -C standing alone, and then attempts to interpret "-C" as
number instead of parsing of next argument. It fails, so the next
argument is interpreted as stand-alone argument.
