The source code is available -- essentially it stretches contrast in 
each R, G, B channel separately. If you press Auto and then open as 
curves, you can see. The end points are, however, a few percent in 
from the ends, limiting its usefulness in a professional setting.

The point of it is that it "just works". An auto button should not be 
configured.

I think really what you are asking for is a "stretch contrast" filter 
that has configurable black and white points.

Note that you can already configure the black and white points in 
levels using the eye dropper.

That would be a "no" :-)  There aren't any other buttons that behave 
differently when you double-click on them (and actually for good 
reason, as no-one would ever guess it, and because it would mean every 
button would have to wait to see whether the user double-clicked 
before doing anything, giving a UI feeling of slowness.

I'm supportive of being able to set the levels/auto clipping 
percentage, perhaps in the Colours/Map/Stretch Contrast GEGL filter.
