+1, though, David has good points about unnecessary laziness. I'm fine with the name and the signature

``` clamp :: Ord a ⇒ (a,a) → a → a ```

(or some variation on the theme).

Hi all,

It seems to me that base is missing the very standard function `clamp :: Ord a => a -> a -> a -> a`:

```haskell clamp :: Ord a => a -> a -> a -> a clamp low high = min high .max low ```

I propose it be added to Data.Ord. It's useful, generic, and non-trivial to get

right (the "big" number goes with "min" -- causes me cognitive

dissonance every time.)

Thanks, Sandy
