Plugin python should be specified before -fplugin-arg-python-script error #124

This must be a bug

 g++ -fplugin=python3 -fplugin-arg-python-script=foo.py -c test.cpp

Gives me errors:

cc1plus: error: plugin python should be specified before -fplugin-arg-python-script=foo.py in the command line
cc1plus: error: fail to initialize plugin /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/7/plugin/python3.so

It appears that the plugin is loaded, but it does not understand that.

The version packaged with my system is 0.15.
