Note that -i was --intermediate-format in many releases, dropping -i should be fine if there is no intention bring back --intermediate-format. (Personally I still find --intermediate-format useful: for template instantiations, in many cases users only care about aggregated line execution counts (0 vs 1). They don't want to see 10 instantiations of a function.) -j -> --json-format looks good. I don't think anyone uses --human-readable. The short option can even be removed.
