Thanks for spotting this shortcoming. You are right, the first argument
to max indeed requires static_cast<T>(_). We didn't expect the library
to be used with a unary minus operator that looks like "not_T operator-
(T)". Unfortunately primitive types shorter than int do have this
property.
Best regards,
