- The [original discussion](https://forums.swift.org/t/add-a-clamp-function-to-algorithm-swift/5405/46) also had support for a `median` free function.

- Could the new protocol be improved, to become the primary API?  
(i.e. The generic `clamped(to:)` method would be removed completely,  
but a generic `@Clamped(to:)` property wrapper could be proposed later.)

- Should the `clamped(to:)` method be on [`Strideable`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift/strideable) instead?  
(`Foundation.Date` has all the requirements of `Strideable`,  
but it doesn't conform yet: FB9452917.)
