I much prefer explicit typing, but both you and Rasmus mentioned wanting the int/sizeof_t mixing.
Well, the explicit typing allows that mixing, in that you can just
have "const_max_t(5,sizeof(x))"
So I'm ok with that.
What I'm *not* so much ok with is "const_max(5,sizeof(x))" erroring
out, or silently causing insane behavior due to hidden subtle type
casts..
