What sort of real-world use to you get out of being able to do those sorts of operations?

Me and my friends put resolution, frame rate, chroma format and bit depth in the file name.

Can be something simple like foreman_cif.yuv or something more verbose like XXX_HD_u10_lsb16_420p_1920x1080.yuv.
Also an option. Ideally we could define a standard syntax for those which tools could read and then automatically set the parameters correctly.
