The remaining formats are generic and specify only the semantic

RGBM is like RGBA, except that it requests only one bit of alpha, if the
graphics card can provide that, to leave more room for the RGB
components, which is especially important for older 16-bit
graphics cards (the "M" stands for "mask", as in a cutout).
