Side note: for stable, can you look into using _Generic() instead of
__builtin_choose_expression() with typeof, or some
__builtin_types_compatible_p() magic?

Yes, yes, we use __builtin_choose_expression() elsewhere, but we've
started using _Generic(), and it's really the more natural model - in
addition to being the standard C one.

Of course, there may be some reason why _Generic() doesn't work, but
it _is_ the natural fit for any "for type X, do Y" kind of thing.

No?
