Broken --inverse flag.

Hi,

There appears to be a bug in coreutils. The --inverse flag appears to
be missing or broken from most utils.
Example:

$ ps --inverse
-- ERROR: Unknown gnu long option.
$ ls --inverse
ls: unrecognized option `--inverse'
$ rm --inverse foo
rm: unrecognized option `--inverse'
$ echo --inverse "hello"
--inverse hello

Clearly this is not whats expected..
I would expect to receive a list of all processes currently not
running, all files not in the current working directory, delete all
files not named foo in the current working directory and echo all text
besides "hello" .

Is this bug fix on the current roadmap? When can I expect it to be fixed?

Thanks very much!
Dan.
