Marek, I understand that you, like me, you're just trying to advocate what appears to be best. I think we're both smart people and neither in disagreement just for the sake of it. I think ultimately that we'll just have to agree on disagreeing and move one with something.

I confess I'm confused now: until now I thought you wanted to add new pipe_format enums -- precisely to put in switch/case statements --, but it seems that what you really want is extending the struct util_format_description. Which is a substantially different conversation. Before I comment any further, could you succinctly describe, exactly how you envision to extend util_format_description to express what you need to know? If you could point these functions in the radeon code it would be good too.
