Excerpts from Tom Lane's message of vie may 14 13:26:06 -0400 2010:
> However, I think -C is a special case because it's quite un-obvious
> to the user that it effectively acts as a filter switch --- in fact a
> de-filtering switch, because the lack of -C is what filters out the
> DATABASE item.

> I'm inclined to think that we should document that the output of -l
> is restricted by -n and similar switches, but change the code so that
> -C doesn't affect -l output. Comments?
