no, I mean Cmaj7. That, to me implies the #11, and I'll explain why.
if you played a cmajor triad with an F# as a cluster, you hear a tritone between the C, the root and f# and a minor second between the f# and g (the 5th). That can be a gross sound unless you voice it correctly.. but i'm getting off subject.. anyway..

But, If you play (at a piano) a Cmaj7 chord, and then play up the scale, the lydian will sound quite pleasing against the chord, while the natural F will stick out like a sore thumb. Jamie Abersold talks about this during his seminars, so I tried, listened and agreed.
