FWIW, numpy calls it "clip"
I feel clip fits best with the idea of a collection to... clip.
`clamp()` would work with scalars, for which the word clip might
not be
clear at a glance. While I have no strong feelings in favour of
clamp, I
do think it would be better than clip (but maybe it's just my
experience
with CSS speaking). As far as other options go, I agree with Mr
D'Aprano's objection to `minmax`, and I'd like to toss a
possible
`coerce` (similarly used in Kotlin) into the hat. Maybe someone
has
better names in mind?
Coerce makes me think of types¹ rather than values. YMMV.
