ok. Thanks Ian and Dan for your explanations even if I understand that the
reason is just an implementation reason which introduces a bias on
unpacking operator (seperation of concern would have be great here I
suppose but maybe less efficient).

Agreed. My understanding was that this was because the min and max
functions get written as an unrolled set of cmp instructions, rather
than as a loop, and while this was not included in the spec for obvious
reasons, it is why the spec was written that way.

Thanks Ian and Dan for your returns.
I'm pretty agree with Dan considering that if append can understand that an
empty slice provides nothing to add, I think min/max should be able to
understand that an empty slice provides nothing to compare to the first
param. Moreover, today, it is possible

If the only input to min/max were the slice, this would be true, but I
do not think it is in the case that is implemented in the standar

Hi,
Even if the spec precises :
> slice arguments are not permitted
I wonder if there's any real technical reason to prohibit the use of the
slice variadics during *min/max* buildin functions, when it's allowed with
*append* (which creates inconsistent behavior between buildin functions)?
