Subject: RE: [PATCH next 00611] minmax: Remove 'constexpr' check from
 __careful_clamp()

Nothing requires that clamp() return a constant expression.
The logic to do so significantly increases the .i file.
Remove the check and directly expand __clamp_once() from clamp_t()
since the type check can't fail.
