Basically: pipx install --verbose works, but pipx --verbose install silently ignores the --verbose option. This is surprising and error-prone.

This behavior not limited to the --verbose option. I actually discovered this by running pipx --global install - which seems like a natural way to use --global - and then got very confused when pipx went ahead and installed the package under my user instead!

pipx should either support options being passed before the verb, or at the very least the command should fail instead of silently ignoring the option.
