I was curious about what the likely cases are in many cases, so I ran a quick sample from a professional project I am working on, and found the following results: [...] As would be expected, all cases were using computed value as the input, only the min/max were ever constant.

Thanks for doing that Chris. That's what I expected: I can't think of any use-case for clamping a constant value to varying bounds: x = known_value() for lower, upper in zip(seq1, seq2): y = clamp(x, lower, upper) process(y) -- Steve
