Please make sure the above is captured in the RFC. Though apparently what PHP currently does with Point comparisons in min/max is... weird. I don't even know what the logic here is. :) https://3v4l.org/pTmiV (No need to change it in this RFC, just note explicitly that the expected behavior is identical to that min(max()) construct, regardless of type.) --Larry Garfield
