I just thought of something that may be confusing with the latest proposal:

# flashrom -r file # when no -i arg reads the whole chip
# flashrom -i region -r file # reads only region <region> on the ROM size file with everything else 0
# flashrom -r region:region_file file # is not obvious what file may have since no -i was provided

I think given the above it is much cleaner to keep the -i region:file interface.
