some extensions.
Format names like XnYnZnWn have the X component in the lowest-address n bits
and the W component in the highest-address n bits; for B8G8R8A8, byte 0 is
blue and byte 3 is alpha. Note that platform endianness is not considered

+Format aliases like XYZWstrq are (s+t+r+q)-bit integers in host endianness,

Format suffixes affect the interpretation of the channel:
