Hello,
I am using coreutils version 8.27 on Fedora, and I don't see this fixed in
8.28's NEWS.
$ seq 1 --help
seq: invalid floating point argument: ‘--help’
Try 'seq --help' for more information.
We should be able to put the options anywhere and not necessarily before any
arguments. And even if not (e.g. POSIX conformance overrides,) --help should
be handled specially to conform to the GNU coding standards. [1]

cheers,
Chad.
