Here is an implementation of P0025
An algorithm to "clamp" a value between a pair of boundary values.
Testing is almost finished - looks good so far.
OK if testing passes?
I didn't see a feature test in any of the SD-6 papers or P0025.
This is not an efficient implementation. See here:

Which I derived from this SO answer (which is sadly not the accepted
answer at this time):

I suggest using the very efficient method that requires a temporary.
That isn't a valid implementation of std::clamp, since it performs a
copy. The template argument might not even be copyable.
We could possibly dispatch to such an implementation for arithmetic
types, but we wouldn't want to do it for all copyable types. There's
no way you can know whether making that local copy is expensive for an
arbitrary type, and making a copy isn't allowed anyway.
