As it is now, you can run:
parallel -a table_file.tsv --skip-first-line --colsep '\t' cmd
-o {1} -i {2}
I see very little benefit in adding the extra option, so you need to
show me better examples where this could be helpful. It will also help
if others can provide these examples.

I suspect you need it for some bioinformatics, if so feel free to show
what bioinformatics files you need it for.
