Unlike min_t(some_unsigned_type, a, b) min_unsigned() will never mask off high bits if an inappropriate type is selected. The '+ 0u + 0ul + 0ull' may look strange. The '+ 0u' is needed for 'signed int' on 64bit systems. The '+ 0ul' is needed for 'signed long' on 32bit systems. The '+ 0ull' is needed for 'signed long long'.
