Well, why can't it be implied?
I admit it is less user friendly and I expect some other issues with
it, but in principle I would favour just reusing -vf format/-vf noformat.
Of course, if/when FFmpeg supports decoding fully to a raw buffer via hardware
we would need some option like that, however I'd consider that more of a
reason to not "use it up" for something else already now.
