@aaron This is something I've been thinking about and discussing with other colorists. I feel like there should just be less "bleaching" by default because there's already a way to separately control highlight saturation with the Density vs Luma curve. Ideally the contrast curve should only affect perceptual contrast and brightness. So my counter suggestion would be to update the color model to better isolate perceptual luminance and leave saturation (almost) alone, since there's already a way to separately control that. I would much prefer that over adding another slider control to the interface.
