print : Where is the "-C" option gone?

["Com MN PG P E B Consultant 3" <mn-pg-p-e-b-consultant-3.com@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

From the website http://zsh.sunsite.dk/Doc/Release/index-frame.html,
which claims to
describe zsh 4.0.3, the documentation for the print builtin explains the
-C switch:

   print [ -abcDilmnNoOpPrsz ] [ -u n ] [ -f format ] [ -C cols ]
         [ -R [ -en ]] [ arg ... ]
   ...
      -C cols
         Print the arguments in cols columns.

I am running zsh 4.0.7:

   $ zsh --version
   zsh 4.0.7 (i386-redhat-linux-gnu)

But the -C option is not accepted in my zsh:

   print -C 1 x*
   zsh: bad option: -C

Indeed, the man page for this newer version does not mention -C anymore 
for print:

   print [ -bnrslzpNDPoOicm ] [ -un ] [ -R [ -en ]] [ arg ... ]

Is it a reason, or a mistake, for this change (which, after all, might 
render old zsh scripts incompatible)?
