I think maybe there should be a bit that changes the interpretation of the bit widths to a 16-valued type enumeration. For n-bit integers use n-1 as now, but remove the unusual ones and replace them with floating point and signed types. Use a lookup table to get type + width. I really don't think there are more than 16 of them:

I'm not aware of any format that has a different type for float alpha and colors.. In any case
that's probably what you should put in the type info.
