That's an interesting point, I wonder what will be the best way to implement this.
At first, I _was_ thinking of a shell function to wrap the whole thing up, but than I thought to my self that perhaps this clipboard selection issue was taken care of purely with the `$PASSWORD_STORE_X_SELECTION` env variable. IMO, it could have been solved better and more comfortably with a new command line option. Plus, perhaps the fact that a certain command line option makes a difference only on certain platforms isn't that bad.. Why would it matter for MacOS users to read on a man page that a certain option makes a difference only on Linux? I think it will best suit to make the option `-C` ignored or equivalent to `-C` on MacOS machines.
