Given a template function that has two incoming integral types to work with, I want to declare some variables for intermediate use.  How do I easily make a typedef for the larger of the two?

It doesn't need to be perfect.  I'm just trying to avoid using a 64-bit integer when it isn't needed, since 32-bit targets will be penalized for that.
