No, not really.  I wanted to be able to ask the type it's min and max if it is
a range type.  Now I suppose I can dig out the policy, but it's fairly
cumbersome in comparison to just calling mytype::max().

Such as?  I must have missed that section in MC++ design. And anyway, how
would these issues apply here?
