Perhaps you should reconsider your expectations there. They do different
things because they are different functions with different signatures
and different purposes. It isn't even necessary to use min and max in
the implementation of clamp, in fact it is better not to.
Any "consistency" arguments for clamp versus min/max are weak at best.
Point taken. I don't have a strong opinion on this but I'm curious if
others would find it useful to have iterables as acceptable types for
bounds. Or maybe even allowing a range instance to be supplied as bounds
(I can't think of a use case where I couldn't just pass the bounds of
the range instead, but maybe someone else can).
