RootCommand.Parse().Invoke() does not handle --help or --version?

[ptr727]

My app needs to do some pre-processing before letting command handlers run, e.g. if --debug I wait for debugger to attach even before creating the root command.

I am trying to use RootCommand.Parse() to get the parsed results, then look and see what root options were set, e.g. --debug, handle those, and then call ParseResult.Invoke().

I found that if I call RootCommand.Invoke() then --help and --version is handled as expected.
but when I call RootCommand.Parse(), --help or --version are reported as errors, and consequently ParseResult.Invoke() does not handle help or version.

Is this really expected, if halp and version is hardwired in (still waiting for elegant way to override version reporting), should they not be handled by RootCommand.Parse() and by ParseResult.Invoke()?
