Description
Since `version` is pretty much built-in, it should never be "unknown", especially if this message is immediately followed by helptext that clearly shows that it is a valid option.

Research direction
Reproduce the reported `dotnet` command with `--version` after the user-defined options `-c` and `-d`. Trace how the command-line parser handles the built-in version option and add a regression test for this ordering; done means the version is displayed without an "unknown" error.
