At least in 2.0.0 beta 6 there is an option beneath the curve to have 
sharp are smooth bends. I you have choosen the smooth bends, it is up to 
you how many bend points you make, this way you can do anything you want 
and in fact, however darktable looks nicer, it would for complex 
manupilation be harder to get the same result.
