Comment (by johnmaddock):

 Note that this issue can occur with built-in types too:

 {{{
    short sa(1), sb(2), sc(3);
    short sd = (std::min)(sa, sb + sc);  // ambiguous
 }}}

 So IMO it is correct to fix this with a typecast at the call site of
 std::min/max.

 Which is not to say I won't add the overloads to namespace
 boost::multiprecision as well... once I have them correct and move enabled
 etc...
