How can you convert a DXGI_FORMAT to a bpp (bit per pixel) value without enumeration? (see formats)
e.g.:
DXGI_FORMAT_R10G10B10A2_UNORM -> 32
DXGI_FORMAT_B5G5R5A1_UNORM -> 16
DirectXTex implements this utility function, and I have it internally in DirectX Tool Kit for DDSTextureLoader.

Of course, the real question is why do you need it?
