        The header file clamp.hpp contains two functions for "clamping"
        a value between a pair of boundary values.

<p>
        The function <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">clamp</span> <span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">v</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">lo</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">hi</span><span class="special">)</span></code>
        returns:

<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">

          </li>
<li class="listitem">
            otherwise, v
          </li>
</ul></div>
<p>
        Note: using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">clamp</span></code> with floating
        point numbers may give unexpected results if one of the values is <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">NaN</span></code>.
      </p>
<p>
        There is also a version that allows the caller to specify a comparison predicate
        to use instead of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">operator</span> <span class="special">&lt;</span></code>.

        The following code:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">foo</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="number">23</span><span class="special">;</span>
<span class="identifier">foo</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">clamp</span> <span class="special">(</span> <span class="identifier">foo</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">1</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">10</span> <span class="special">);</span>
</pre>
<p>
        will leave <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">foo</span></code> with a value
        of 10
      </p>
<p>
        Complexity: <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">clamp</span></code> will make
        either one or two calls to the comparison predicate before returning one
        of the three parameters.
      </p>

      </h5>
<p>
        There are also four range-based versions of clamp, that apply clamping to
        a series of values. You could write them yourself with std::transform and
        bind, like this: <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">transform</span> <span class="special">(</span> <span class="identifier">first</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">last</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">out</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">bind</span>
        <span class="special">(</span> <span class="identifier">clamp</span>
        <span class="special">(</span> <span class="identifier">_1</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">lo</span><span class="special">,</span>
        <span class="identifier">hi</span> <span class="special">)))</span></code>,
        but they are provided here for your convenience.
