It difficult to find the best name for this plugin.

I think "ToneMapping" describe only the process to compress the dynamic range
of a picture.
It is usually applied to high dynamic range (HDR) pictures generated from
several low dynamic range pictures but it can be applied to a single picture as
well.
People often call this "single raw hdr", where is in fact it is more "Tone
mapping from a single raw" in my opinion.

It seems to me that this plugin implements some kind of ToneMapping applied to
a single picture (either a raw file with a moderate dynamic range or a 8bit
file with low dynamic range).

The "local constrast" name is short and quite intuitive and does not confuse
the user with multiple picture hdr tonemapping.
We could also use the following names :
"Dynamic range compression" 
"LDR Tone Mapping"
