And what does -C or -s do on a non-X11 platform? MacOS doesn't even have
a primary selection. Neither does Windows. It's a bit rude to have a
command-line option like that that's only functional on one supported
platform.

If it's the amount of typing you're worried about, why not write a
quick bash function that wraps pass with the environment variable?
