Well, yes, that's what I had initially. Then min() needed unsigned
int, where clamp() - down below - needed signed int. At the end of the
day, I set up min() here, but later this will disappear. I was
wondering, if it's actually needed anymore, when doing clamp() anyway.

The story is a bit longer, since original version (I think I never
submitted) I started with clamp(), ran into signed / unsigned and
difference from max, that I skipped clamp() until when you complained
about it: "use clamp()"

Long story short, I'll verify this in my tests, but probably I'll
rather drop a call to min() here.

Let me allow a stupid question, when you mean on the same column, the
above is wrong? Can you give me an example here how to fix it?
