Here's a quick benchmark comparing clamp with one template type parameter vs. three:

Personally, I value that performance benefit above the easier-to-describe semantics that you want.
I notice that you *completely* skirted the question of what this algorithm does and how it's documented. Or, put another way, I can make that algorithm infinitely fast, since it has no semantic description. It's easy to be fast if you don't care about getting the right answer. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
