The guidelines actually confused me a little. The first bullet for
calling min or max has:
If you want to call std::min() or std::max():
* If you do not require argument-dependent look-up, use
(std::min)(a,b).
I got caught up in the ADL part and didn't realise that the parenthesis
were there to stop macro expansion not to stop ADL.
