Except when one is serializing views themselves.

I seemed to remember related min/max discussions in the past that suggested
surrounding the qualified function name in parens as shown below

assert
(
 static_cast<std::size_t>((std::numeric_limits<std::streamsize>::max)()) >=
count
);

This appears to work in both binary_oprimitive line 101 and
binary_iprimitive line 105

Thanks, Jeff
