Wc --help is incorrect regarding to wich output is displayed in which column.
It says "Print byte, word, and newline counts" but the output is in newline,
word, and bytes.
Which column the char count is displayed is unclear.
The output columns are always the same, regardless of the order of the command
line parameters. This is unpractical if you want to run the output through
sort.
