Using min/max() on pointers just makes it all more horrid. The problem is that is_signed_type() isn't 'constant enough' for pointers. Supporting pointers may require yet another (bloating) _is_constexpr() call. Or add a simpler min_ptr() that includes a 'pointer' check. But this might only be reported by clang with W=1.
