Aaa, that it is.

So C flag is mark same as with t, that is good for me.

But that behavior is not described that I know. If that is intended to
be so, that marking and flagging is the same, then maybe description
should be changed for that function, that user knows that function
will not work if files have the flag C for being copied.

Toggle marks: marked files become unmarked, and vice versa.
Files marked with other flags (such as ‘D’) are not affected.
‘.’ and ‘..’ are never toggled.
As always, hidden subdirs are not affected.
