"Auto" mode, which I forgot to mention, is not a separate composite
mode, but rather corresponds to one of the other composite modes,
depending on the layer's blend mode: for "Normal", "Dissolve", and
"Merge", it corresponds to "Union", and for the other modes (that
support different composite modes) it corresponds to "Clip to Backdrop".
