Oh dear. You had one job, min!

Yeah, I was thinking of max, not min, sorry. My point was that it's a trivial thing to write, your generic max (or min) is right there. The math.Max() (and math.Min()) function is not trivial, it handles certain special cases, and that's probably why it was included.[1]
