In addition to that, as some have suggested, we could have new functions
erlang:min/2 and erlang:max/2 (not auto-imported, so no BC problem). To
use the shorter names, you'd only need to write -import(erlang, [min/2,
max/2]).

Since guards use slightly different rules for name resolution, it would
be possible to also add min/2 and max/2 to the set of guard BIFs.
