This change will fix the immediate issue at hand, but the process of selecting the output format is a mess. As far as I can tell, there are at least three command-line flags that affect the output: -p, -f, and --parseable-severity. And there is not information on how should those things interact.

@tadeboro I totally agree with you on that aspect. I am aware of it and I want to remove both parseable and severity options, keeping only format w/o any modifiers but this would require a major version bump. Part of the same change is renaming "codeclimate" to "json", while keeping the format the same (likely with an alias). I do remember 2-3 feature request for json output added after we implemented it.
