That, amongst other things, is a strong hint that you should _provide_ 
options before non-option arguments.  if you stick to putting options 
immediately after the command, you won't go wrong.  So I really don't see 
where man pages should do anything differently.

I agree that it might make sense for a note in the man man page to mention 
that the convention is to suggest options should go first, but that most 
programs do not force that.  It doesn't, though, belong in the grep page - 
or if it does, then it belongs in almost all CLI man pages.
