What would that return? What if the iterables were two different
lengths?

If anything, I would accept an iterable for the value, and return an iterator.

min() with an iterable is essentially a reduce. clamp() with an iterable would be a map.

Though then there is the question of what to return for a scalar value: an iterator with one value or a scalar?

So maybe these kinds of operations should be left to numpy.
