Global options not displayed in sub-command help

[jjs105]

I may be missing something but is there any way to include the global options information in the sub-command help.

Test Code:

program
  .description('Test program/command.')
  .option('-g, --global', 'a global option')
  .version(VERSION);

program
  .command('sub')
  .description('Sub-command!')
  .option('-l, --local', 'a sub-command local option')
  .action(() => {});

program.parse(process.argv);

Program Help Output:

$> node test.js -h
Usage: test [options] [command]

Test program/command.

Options:
  -g, --global   a global option
  -V, --version  output the version number
  -h, --help     output usage information

Commands:
  sub [options]  Sub-command!

Sub-Command Help Output:

$> node test.js sub -h
Usage: test sub [options]

Sub-command!

Options:
  -l, --local  a sub-command local option
  -h, --help   output usage information

What I would want/expect:

$> node test.js sub -h
Usage: test sub [options]

Sub-command!

Options:
  -g, --global   a global option
  -V, --version  output the version number
  -l, --local  a sub-command local option
  -h, --help   output usage information
