Abbreviation for the -selection parameter #2

Sometimes I need to xclip -out something that is in the clipboard. I constantly keep looking up the names of the parameters: -selection clipboard, and it's also too long to type.

I have found (through code inspection) that xclip -o -se c works, too. It would be great if this was documented in the man page; bonus points for a parameter -clipboard (abbrev. -c) ;-)

As requested, xclip -c, has been added in the "hackerb9" branch which is pending merging. Furthermore, TAB completion exists to save you typing.
