Small bug with ---clean

Basically, the "-c" or "--clean" flags don't do crap for me from what I can tell.  My /var/cache/pacman/pkgs/ directory is still rather full.  Do I have to add an extra option?

Thanks,

always use a big-letter-instruction with a small-letter instruction ... only small-letters do not do nothing

... should be maybe better explained in the docs

Okay, so does "pacman --clean" not do anything either?

Okay, I finally get it in the man page.  Yea, that's a little murky.  I didn't realize at first that --clean was only an extra option to tag onto sync.

Thanks,
