Comment (by chtz@…):

 First of all, in all patches/examples you wrote above, you need to replace
 the arguments to {{{(std::min)(arg, a);}}} by the appropriate
 {{{t,t1,t2}}}. For a clean solution you should actually implement
 {{{min,max}}} similar to the way you implement {{{atan2}}}.

 However, that will indeed still not work with Eigen3.2, since (as you
 noted) we use something like {{{(max)(a,b)}}} which prevents ADL (for
 whatever reason ...)
 I don't really like having to fix this in Eigen3.2, but actually the
 {{{using std::max; ... (max)(A,B)}}} we are currently doing is more or
 less pointless, here.
