If you go this way, make _Generic() use simple in the macro with a help of two
additional functions (per type). Also you need to take care about uid2 type to
be _any_ unsigned integer. Or if you want to complicate things, then you need
to distinguish signed and unsigned cases.

P.S.
All to me it seems way too overengineered w/o any potential prospective user.
