Hmmm....
I wonder if I can get 'statically_true(lo >= 0)' into the type check so that
cast isn't necessary.
	signed_val < 0 ? 0 : signed_val > unsigned_val ? unsigned_val : signed_val
is fine.
Would mean swapping the order of the tests - which shouldn't break anything.
But will need a full audit - various bits of code have relied on the order
of the comparisons.
