I was about to send the same patch.
Although I'm not sure why the cpu time is so large.
It compiles pretty immediately on my system.
I do have some patches to minmax.h that reduce the .i for the nested
clamp() to around 200k.
Mostly obtained be adding min/max_const() for the few places
that need a constant and min/max_ptr() for pointer types.
Supporting both causes the expansion to be a lot larger.
