Darktable, filmic and saturation

I think you are right here. There is a problem with the preserve chrominance setting in the current implementation of Filmic.

The problem is (as you already pointed out) that the RGB values are raised to a power after the ratio preserving transform is applied, which breaks the ratios.

Setting the destination/display to 1.0 gamma, 50% grey level removes the unnecessary power function, and makes it behave as I would expect.
