Are Options allowed everywhere on the command-line ?

I have noticed that all the programs in the fileutils 4.1 package accept
options everywhere on the commandline. I have browsed the info-documenta-
tion for any indication of the desired behaviour but in vain. 

Example:

        > mkdir test
        > cd test
        > touch -- -l foo bar           # Make some files
        > ls 

        bar  foo  -l

        > ls bar foo -l

        -rw-rw-r--    1 clr      clr             0 Dec 14 11:13 bar
        -rw-rw-r--    1 clr      clr             0 Dec 14 11:13 foo

If this really is a bug (and not a "feature" :-), I would gladly volunter 
to submit a diff correcting the problem.

Regards
