Bug in 'wc' --help output

[DervishD]

    Hi all :)

    In GNU coreutils 5.0, the 'wc' binary outputs this when invoked
with --help option:

Usage: wc [OPTION]... [FILE]...
Print byte, word, and newline counts for each FILE, and a total line if
more than one FILE is specified.  With no FILE, or when FILE is -,
read standard input.
[...]

    Well, according to the Single Unix Specification v3 and (AFAIK)
POSIX, the default output of wc are newlines, words and bytes, not
the reverse. 'wc' *correctly* outputs the information in that order,
but the --help text is not correct. It should read:

"Print newline, word and byte counts for each FILE...."

    Thanks a lot for coreutils, finally I have almost all my system
utilities updated together! That's nice, truly.
