More options that came to my mind:

10. -p for permanent filtering, rather than temporary filtering like in -f

Oooh! More in one! Definitely yes.

It'd be weird travelling with this mode, though ;).

 

11. -i for ignoring case

Do you need this if you have smart case (implicit -i if you use only lowercase)?

 

12. -v for inverting the match

Can you not just press "v" afterward? I don't think I'd rather use up a precious letter for something so simple.

 

Using -p would set the "filter" setting.  This way we can even implement
the :filter command with :scope too, and the user can decide if he wants
to ignore case, invert the result, choose the matching mode, and all the
good stuff that is currently not possible with :filter.
