What is the use-case for this?  Why would I ever want to do this action?
Since <anything> ends up depending on core stuff like, say, libc, wouldn't
    pkg uninstall -r <anything>
end up removing my entire system?

Without a better understanding of situations where "c" is a useful choice,
I'd steer well clear of doing it that way.  It violates the principle of
least surprise.
